  No bad Amarone.
  Great year. Maybe too simple.
  Not the best Amarone you can have.
  Quality / price ratio ok

  One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Nose of roses and tree bark during decant.Wine was clear; ruby red with a slight crimson edge and a small clear halo. After resting, nose opened somewhat: dried cherries, walnuts and the omnipresent rose petals. In the mouth: smooth but still plenty of tannin hanging around. Sour cherries and woody flavors plus a touch of anise. Long finish of the cherries and anise. Given how young this wine was, the key to enjoying it was the food pairing. Served with steak covered in a cream-based au poivre sauce which allowed the food and wine to match each other's intensity. Otherwise, I would wait 3-5 years before consuming.

  Beautiful Amarone. High alcohol, lovely dark cherry notes with medium tannins. Could have aged longer but was very nice to drink.

  Very good amarone. Full bodied, long lasting, very intense nose. After 8 years it's drinkable, but still very tannic and needs time to open (decanted for 8 hours and still a bit closed). Some tertiary characteristics and decent complexity, but in hindsight would have better left it for another 5 years or so in the cellar.

  Closed, even on day two. Maybe some dark chocolate and cherry liqueur, but no score for now
