I drank the first half of this yesterday and drinking the other half today. It really has opend up to very nice wine. A sweet carmel-like bouquet with a hint of spice, and some heat. The palate is really sweet and lingering. Beautiful Amarone. This wine is mature, but I believe it still can be cellared for some years.

Every bit the charmer as when tasted about 9 months ago. Still mostly dark, ripe juicy fruit on the nose. Opens after 1-2 hours decanting, showing very attractive tar, cedar and black olive -- very subtle though. Gorgeous, layered milk chocolate and red cherries on the palate. Good mouthfeel and glycerol; balanced acidity. Tannins ripe and still quite firm -- should be drinking beautifully 2010-2015.

It was a little harsh initially, but after an hour it had really opened up. An excellent match for the pesto and pine-nutty flavours of the penne.
