Of all the wines I decided to pull for a trip to a South Texas Ranch this was one of them. Open season amongst drilling derricks... not what I grew up around in Wyoming but still quality time with friends. More beer consumed than wine.
Wouldn't have guessed Amarone blind. Italian, yes. Maybe Tuscany due to the amount of oak influence. Still plenty of life left in this bottle. Drink now or hold.
Consider this contemporary Amarone.

Big and lively on the nose, spicy mint and eathyness. Still very tannic, but juicy and delicious. I’m not very experienced in Amarone, but this doesn’t have the raisin port quality I’ve experienced before.

I don't drink too much Amarone, usually finding it too big, too sweet, etc. But this surprised with the redness of its fruit and balanced acidity. Not a good value for my palate, but exceeded my expectations.
