Develops beautifully with air, initially dominated by dried fruit, cranberry and blueberry, but opens up into a more complete wine with dried coffee, forest floor, wind-dried sausage. Hides 15.5% very well. Very complex, very impressive.

Basically a declassified Amarone in 'off' vintages, this wine has lots of power and finesse to it. Tart and sour cherries, savory herbs, minerals, and subtle spice and floral notes. Firm acidity, grippy tannins, and lovely long finish. No rush on this one.

What can you say, disappointing. Alcohol very noticeable, tannins quite firm and intense ripe fruit. For me, everything feels a bit loose and not integrated together. To ripe too much alcohol.

BYOB dinner NOTK (Rotterdam, NL): On the nose this is relatively elegant (given the style), but on the palate elegance is nowhere to be seen. This is not my style of wine, so I may not be completely unprejudiced. Alcohol is showing too much. Kirch, figs

Overdone for me, too much alcohol, a bit astringent.
