  Double decanted to remove sediment then audozed (cork out) in the 55ºF fridge while cooking (approx 1 hour). Fully decanted before serving. Insanely expressive and complex nose- starts out with fresh black cherries, rich dried cherries, and plums that evolves into cleaner aromas of dried fruits, especially dried dates. The palate sticks to the dried fruit theme, no surprise for Amarone, with all the sweet primary fruits described above along with secondary earthy notes that are more like the skins of fruit and tomato sauce than soil or spice. Tannins are on the leathery side and the alcohol definitely makes this very bold however it is neither hot, astringent, nor primary; in balance with the palate concentration and glycerol viscosity. Solid Amarone for sure and has aged well for a more value driven producer; picked it up for $40 back in 2016 and wouldn't have been upset had I 1-2 more in my cellar. Overall evaluation A- (90).

  Held this for a while. Really nice amarone. Definitely had the raisin thing going and other flavors. Pretty smooth. Wish I had more.
