This was only my second Amarone, but surprisingly good, structured and clear. Good acidity, with plums, tobacco and chocolate, even very ripe blackberry. But never heavy or over-textured, this wine is a good drink-now, but has potential also.

Good stuff, didn't expect it. I had a bottle (don't remember the vintage) some years ago, which was very hard and uneven, but this very bottle was very drinkable and smooth, with enough earthyness, leather and plum in the nose. Seems to be the right time to drink, not full-mouthy, more a distinct noblesse in it. Enjoy now!
