This was a revelation and made me wonder why don't I buy more of these? I was expecting something raisiny and stewed, and was surprised entirely. Beautifully fragrant nose on opening, almost floral, sustained as the wine breathed over the evening. Delicious red fruit, cherry in particular with notes of leather and spice, is still ripe and concentrated, and displaying lively acidity. Tannins well balanced, showing a medium weight and finish. Fantastic, food-friendly wine, and delicious on its own too. I need to add more Amarone to my buy list I think.

Served rather cool and it suited the wine well. Best showing so far. Nice quality here, not pushing too much, elegant while retaining honesty to being an Amarone. Some bitterish edge giving the wine character. House wine in the making.

This second bottle showed much-much less alcohol than the first. I am back thinking this wine can have a future. Now it seems as truly a baby, with steely nose and pretty closed palate. Fruit is sweet from the profile yet it there is slightly bitter-grippy character as well. Again not a powerful amarone by any standards, but certainly not overdone and without pruney or plummy taste.
