I did not rate the wine as I think it is a good Amarone, but more to the extreme. It had a strong raisin-like flavor; this is probably a plus for a good amarone, but it does not appeal to me. I bought 2 bottles at the recommendation of my favorite wine supplier when I returned from amarone country in 2012. I will give my other bottle to someone who appreciates a strong amarone - maybe I stored it past its life, although I see that 45% of this bottle purchased are still in the cellars.

Very different from the prior bottle. This one was far more port-like. Lots of dried raisins on the nose and a good whiff of spirit. Heat from the 15% ABV was noticeable on the palate. Felt somewhat disjointed.

Fully mature, soft Amarone, with lots of dried raisin and herbs on the palate. It matched perfectly with Lasagne, showing its full complexity and length. Beautifull.

Beautifull, mature Amarone. Full with raisin, herbs, spices, chocolate and plum. Long, sweet finish.
