Didn't take notes, but I recall this being a very youthful wine with significant tannin for its age. I wouldn't have guessed it was a 40+ year old wine!

Garnet with a hint of orange at the rim. Nose is older but balanced, herbs, hint of plum, spices. Taste was smooth, medium weight, suprisingly lively for this old a bottle. Surprise of the night.

Brown-light cola color; Raisins, white and black; cherry marmalade, brown spices, cola root and wet earth; silky, elegant, good attack and good intensity with balanced bright acidity; light resolved tannins leaving hints of sweet red (cherry) fruits; stewed cherry and plum; impressive for this age. Lovely bottle. 93-94.

WCC Amarone (Dorato's Resturant, Guilderland, NY): Wonderfully exotic nose of orange and red fruits and spices. Still has some biting tannins, but the overall package is mellow and complex. Long finish of sour cherries and spice. Seems at its peak. In marvelous condition for a 33 year old wine. In my top 5. Group #2.

Flat compared to the last bottle and maybe a bit oxidized. Still had rich fruit.
