  Magenta colored lip. Sweet fruits on the nose. Tart red fruits on the palate with drying tannins. Lil bit of spice an earthy flavors 40 sec finish. Good wine. Not spectacular Pair with food an it will be better. 91pts as of now.
  
  4 days later. Kept in food refrigerator. Nose is a bit mute but still has red fruit notes an bit of earth but the flavor is long lasting an more spectacular than on day 1. Time has done this wine well The fruit isn’t overly abundant an takes the palate on a long ride. 94pts now. 91 on day 1.

  First 30 min to an hour. Heavy on the pepper flavors. Nose smelled fruity but didn’t translate to the palate. 3 hours later the nose wasn’t as powerful but the wine started coming together. Def tasted better hours later. After Trying the next day I need to open this an enjoy the next day versus immediately consuming.

  Better on night #2. Heavy on the alcohol but that is what comes with amarone. Good balance of acidity , tannins are soft but lingering The fruit isn’t overly aggressive. Color is slightly showing some signs of age. If u have several. I would suggest opening one now and checking in on the evolution. If u don’t have many give it a few more years before checking in again. I think it’s in a good spot currently.

  I found this really hard work, lovely tobacco nose with plum, but the palate was jammy and oxidative.

  Wonderful wine... but... I expected more 🥺
  
  Dark bright partially clear ruby red color👏
  
  Medium body. Low plus acidity. Soft but still felt tanines. Smooth but with a structure 👏
  
  Mildly to vaguely aromatic. You expected much much more. Fruits. Ageing. Terroir. Spices. Barrels. But really really vaguely 👎
  
  Same on the palate, all right ingredients but in a very mild anemic way 👎
  
  Nice Amarone wine. Not sure regarding VFM.
