Smooth and utterly unexciting. Super light weight and low abv @12.5%

paired with homemade pasta and garlic bread, decanted 60 minutes but came alive after 90. Well balanced, light-medium acidity, medium-full on flavor and density.
Dark fruits, a little smoke at the end.
This is a steal. Curious to try other vintages,but the 2016 is a winner, and the price raises its appeal even higher.

Wonderful Amarone. As expected a bit fo alcohol bite, at 15.5% it's hard to hide. Bright acidity but not strong. raspberry as well as stone fruit.
Should have paired with some strong cheese, but it paired stunning well with a meat/cheese board that included some sweet chicken sausage...who would have thought?
