Dark, rich, full bodied. Nice acidity, pleasantly silky tannins. Dried fruit, and more ripe red and dark fruit than expected. Chocolate covered cherries. Leather and earth. New to amarone but this seems ready to go to me. Very enjoyable and easier drinking than I imagined. Elegant, despite the high alcohol and fullness.

Big and bold. Cherry, blackberry, prune. A touch off-dry. Really delicious. Definitely an end-of-the-night wine. 16% ABV but it’s beautifully integrated.

Deep ruby with legs for days. The nose is pretty restrained even after decanting - it needs more time. Big, meaty mouthfeel with ripe fruit and lovely tannin. Lipsmacking but give it a few more years.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, game and medium toast. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and cherry. The body is full. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
