Holy Moly Amarone (DP's, Goose Hollow, Portland OR): The nose is deep and dense with powerful tones of black cherries, black raspberries, licorice, liqueur tones, crushed rocks, spices, and chocolate notes. The Full bodied feel is deep and rich with medium acidity and chewy, high tannins. This is showing a fair bit of youth and unrestrained power. Even with that youth, this is clearly a monster of a wine and there is plenty of room for it to develop.

Interesting range of scores for this wine, highlighting how divisive Amarone can be. This superb wine seems to be just entering its prime drinking window, and was a perfect accompaniment to wild boar after a brief decant.

Had never tasted this wine before. Honestly unsure if this is a bad bottle or just a wine that is not for me. Either way, don’t think I’ll be back to find out.
