  Garnet-crimson; dried cherries, lingonberries, dark chocolate, cigar, wood smoke; kirsch liquor, sweet raisins, mocha, silky, full body, good acidity, good balance, sweet tannins, lingering finish.
  Decanted 2 hrs, opened up more over dinner. Sweet cherry and raisiny fruit with complex secondary flavours. Taste of brandy in the 15.8% alc. Enjoyed with osso bucco.

  No detailed notes. Nose very primary with sweet red cherry fruit and alcohol. Palate silky and chock-a-block with ripe, sweet cherry fruit. Goes down easy, but not a lot of complexity at the moment. Unclear if this will evolve further.

  young amarone but already delivering pleasant taste : fruity and yummy some alcohol perceived, some educated sweetness. As an "entry level" amarone for Brigaldara, the exam is well passed. Time may further improve complexity with tertiary scents and depth

  Better than a lot of Amarone, but my only comparison with this producer is the 2010 Classico, which this falls well short of. Lacks the complexity. Pleasent enough to drink, despite the high alcohol.
