  Vary dark, only slightly translucent cherry red color. Aromas of cherry marmalade, overripe plums, dried figs, milk chocolate oak and some alcohol. Concentrated and full-bodied on the palate with rather low acidity and a hint of possibly residual sugar sweetness. Intense and somewhat heavy flavors of licorice, sweet pruney plums, oak spice, dried figs, some leather and a hint of plum liqueur. Moderate tannins. Long, sweet and somewhat warm finish with concentrated, somewhat dark-toned and long-lingering flavors of dried figs, cherry marmalade, some chocolate, a little prune and a developed hint of leather.
  
  A concentrated and heavy-set Amarone that feels big, true to the style, but not overdone or excessively modern, with some nice hints of more developed character. This wine could be a good Amarone, were it not for a bit too mellow tannins and rather low acidity, which give the wine a rather ponderous and sluggish feel. With better structure this could have been quite impressive, but now it really doesn't manage to impress me much.

  Doftar mörkt kirschigt, russin, mycket ek - mörk choklad, tallbarr och vanilj. Alkoholstick. Smakmässigt samma tunga mörka frukt med mycket ek, viss sötma och hetta.
  
  Som för så många andra svenskar började vinintresset med Amarone. Jag drev sedan därifrån och dricker det sällan nuförtiden. Ikväll tänkte jag dock göra en till återdykning i det gamla hemdistiktet. Kan väl lugnt säga att det inte känns som hemma längre. Nu tycker jag väl inte att detta var någon höjdaramarone i och för sig - väl överdriven vad gäller den tunga mörka frukten, faten och alkoholen - men det märks tydligt att det är en vinstil som jag växt ifrån. Obalanserad.

  WSET Level 2 Class 5 (BCIT Downtown Campus, Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind. Clear, deep garnet. Nose is clean, with pronouced aromas of coffee, chocoloate, fruitcake, prune, dried cherry, and vanilla. Palate is mostly dry with a hint of sweetness, medium- acid, medium tannin, full body, with flavours of raisin, coffee, chocoloate / cocoa, spice. Finish is medium+. Quality is clearly good to very good, but I'm still not convinced Amarone is my style.
