Lovely ripe almost raisinated aroma. Black cherry, cinnamon, vanilla, polished. A touch of heat. Smooth and multidimensional with accents of smoke and spice. Amazingly dry and powerful.

The nose opens with an impression of velvet warmth and dark berry compote with hints of cocoa and espresso. Then a hint of tobacco and mahogany shoe polish. The warmth continues onto a smooth palate with completely integrated tannins and a firm but unobtrusive structure. The wine has evolved to subtle dried and lightly candied fruit on a sun-warmed sandalwood background. The heat of the alcohol shows on the finish along with blackberry, cocoa and leather. Overall, the wine is seamless and elegant.

Amarone tasting (Sherry-Lehmann): Lovely wine - clean fruit which is warm and open on the nose, but with a botanic note that ads complexity, intense and fine structure. Longer finish and more integrated than the 2005.

Decent bottle of wine but didn't like it enough to want to go buy any more. A bit bigger and less elegant than the amarones we prefer, and bit pruney.
