I've had this bottle in my cellar for approx 15 years. Slow oxidation in bottle for 2 hours. Brownish color. Very mature dusty flavors of dried fruits - rasins, figs, sour cherries, and prunes. Hints of oak, black tea and dark chocolate. Some pleasant bitterness, but the alcohol quite present and a little too "hot" on the aftertaste and missing some freshness IMHO. All in all - a fully matured and lovely Amarone true to the style - but not my style anymore. 90+

Bought at the estate around 10 years ago. I was honored to experience a tasting with Domenico just month before he sadly died. Enjoyed with family at my wife's 50th birthday dinner party. Brownish light red color. Lovely mature classic flavours of cherries, cranberries, lavender, black tea, asian spice and vanilla/oak. The tannins were present although well integrated. Medium acidity. Overall, a beautifully matured barolo from a great winemaker, thanks - RIP.
