First thing I thought of was tawny port. Notes of dried cherries and prunes. Tawny to the color. Well balanced, light in tannins. Great wine but I prefer a more tannins.

Decent color for such an old Amarone. Distinct nose of raisins, mushrooms and dark cherry fruit. Still alive on the palate with aged flavors of dried cherries, mushrooms, black truffles, prunes and all kinds of spices which adds complexity to the dry finish. Incredibly, this got better and better in the decanter. This is decadent, old Amarone that is crazy good. Wow!

Mostly light brown. Dried figs, plums, old wood and caramel. Dried fruit and a bit of spice. The finish is just sweet enough to hide the acid.

41 yo Amarone. Life is good. Evolved fairly quickly after pulling the cork but only improved.
