An extremely high alcohol wine at 16%. The nose was full of heat, pruney, over-ripe and stewed fruits. Anymore and it could pass for Port. Stewed prunes and cherries on the sweet palate with a very viscous texture. Slightly unbalanced. Finish was morderate in length and pretty sweet while still retaining some heat. I don't think it has enough tannins and acidity for extended ageing. Drink up soon.

Dark red black purple; powerful nose, fruity, licorice, a bit eucalyptus, some vanilla; clean, stringent, deep; more fruity powerful and deep than the 03 also tasted - 08 "won"

Överaskande bra trots att det är från en "dålig" årgång! Gillade det!

mellow, fruit-forward like a good Amarone should be. long finish, deep dark fruits on the nose and palate, smooth as silk
