  dark cherry-plum colour. Clear. nose: robust; ripe plums plus prunes; some tobacco and spices; later overripe black cherries. taste: medium acidity; soft, ripe tannins; fruit - black, sweet cherries, plums; cinnamon; medium (+) plummy, sweter finish. Excellent example of rosso veronese (blend of Corvina, Osoleta, Cab Franc).

  Fine to drink now, don't think it will develop by longer storage. Needs some air to get justice.
  Smooth and very soft, medium complexity with no tannins.

  Slightly dull, tawny and moderately opaque. Very viscous wine but moderate body. Aroma is based around ripe plums. This version has a slightly "foxy" note in the bouquet. It's an acceptable level and adds character and individuality to the aroma unless you are really averse to the characteristic. I can kind of feel the same thing in Amarones but much less so and it is overwhelmed in an Amarone by the style. I have had this with other wines. I remember it in some South American Carmeneres. Trying to recall others. I also think this softens as it oxygenates. Aroma heading away from that and more to an undertone of vermouth just a bit.
  
  Palate is Plum and sour cherry. Slightly stewed fruit. Hints of tobacco and a leathery accent and mouthfeel. Acidity is med-H. Tannis are L-med. Alcohol is mod-h. Probably 14 or 14.5. Balance is good but does lean acidic. Finish is very long and stable. Overall I like this wine but could also see me scoring it differently on a day I wasn't in the mood for it. I am drinking it alone but I think this should have food. Roast/Smoked whole Chicken. Honey-citrus base marinade. Veal or chicken parm. Pasta but not too acidic a sauce. Meaty cheese and crackers with dried fruits, honey and nuts. All this would work really well.
