Carobs at the nose and then prunes, mature figs, hints of licorice. Smooth and powerful, a good example of what a great Amarone can be after 22 years of cellar

Decanted only 15-20 minutes. First taste out of the bottle almost felt like a young porto. That being said very smooth. Perfect for the Beef Wellington we had with it. We need something to counter balance all the fattiness of the Wellington and the meat and that Armaron did amazing.
Great Armaron and ready now.

Part of a tasting put on by Masi – what a difference a decade has made. In ’10, there were notes of red cherries, cola & spice, with a light & tannic raisin-y palate.
Following a 3 hour decant? Aromas of mission figs, blueberries & damp tobacco leaves. It was heavenly!
The palate did not disappoint either - with flavors of fig butter & chocolate. On the back end of the long finish there were cigar notes.
Elegant wine that drinks smooth right now – still a few years left in the tank.
