This is out of its awkward phase and drinking smartly. Good acid balances out baking spices. Some raisin on the finish reminds you it’s Amarone. Plenty of time so no hurry to drink.

Tasted immediately after opening and it needed time. It began to taste nice after about 2 hours. Loads of dark fruit and cedar and long finish. I read that after a hour, this one went down hill. I disagree. 2007 vintage. Not sure I'd buy this again, but it was pretty good overall. I prefer a bolder Amarone than this one offered.

Vigorous decanting. Took about one hour to begin to show. This is an elegant and well-crafted Amarone. If you are looking for exagerrated port-like fruit bomb, look elsewhere. It's all in good proportion, with rich, black fruit. Tannins are finely grained. Is drinking surprisingly well right now, given relatively young age. Wait longer if you are looking for the spice notes of aged Amarone to express themselves.

Missing some of the freshness I noted in 2014. Still fairly embryonic.
