  Deep red color. Aromas of black cherries, prunes, dark chocolate and tobacco. Ripe, full-bodied fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length. This wine was delicious with a dark chocolate dessert but lacked freshness and exhibited a touch of oxidation in the finish. Drink up!

  Aromas of salted meats, blueberry, cassis, baking spices, secondary chocolate, coffee. Smoked sausage, turns into jam as time goes by. On the palate it’s almost perfect, big flavors, full body: prunes, salted chocolate covered cherries, jammy, a bit too too sweet. Easy to drink the whole bottle.

  Bright, fresh, ripe. Vivid acidity, raspberry jam, spicy and juicy. Some tannins still there, soft and fine. The alcohol is definitely present, but a cool serving temperature keeps it fairly tame. This is terrific juice at its apogee, a joy to drink.

  Deep Ruby. On the nose, black cherries, vanilla, violets, blueberries. On the palate a medium plus bodied, medium tannins, medium acidity wine, with high alcohol. Palate - black cherries, vanilla, dried cherries, and prunes, some toast. Medium plus finish. Suggest to drink now or hold only a few more years.

  Ms C's Birthday Celebration (Extra Space): Popped and poured. Drank over 2.5 hours.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, dark ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, pronounced intensity, with aromas of sweet spice, confectionery, fruit cake, lacquer, slight florality with more air. Developing.
  On the palate, almost off-dry, medium+ acidity, high alcoholic heat (16%), mouth-coating high tannins, full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet spices, confectionery, fruit cake, raisins, prunes, boysenberry jam, figs. Long finish.
  Very good quality full throttle Amarone that does not hold back. While it did achieve greater balance with more air time, this is more big bold typical Amarone rather than elegant. Drink over next 5+ years.
