My first experience with Amarone but it won't be the last- I really liked this wine. I was afraid it was going to be pruney or raisiny, but for my palate it wasn't either of these. Rather, it was a dense dry wine with rich character and a flavor profile that reminded me of a deeper darker version of some Barbarescos I've enjoyed. A little hot at points (15% alcohol) but overall the alcohol level wasn't a problem. Very nice stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed.
