  Thick and darkly fruity, but not quite as syrupy/figgy/tobaccoey as some Amarones. Apple, plum, cherry.

  Subdued yet powerfull. Mature. Menthol and camphor present. Dark berries but not over the top raisins. Performed well against more expensive Amarones in a blind tasting. Last bottle of six drunk over the last 6 years.

  Drinking beautifully at the end of its life. Open 1.5 hrs and still together although loose structure. Incredibly soft and silky tannins, beautiful fruit, no oxidation and honey aromas. Paired nicely with pineapple pork belly!
