All around nice wine. Medium acidity, medium tannins. Cherry and dark fruit aromas. Good by itself and pairs nicely with our homemade Tuscan style potato soup. — 2 days ago

Garnet coloration. On the nose, amarena cherry, plum, vanilla, sweet toasted oak and forest floor. On the palate, same notes as on the nose, with a long plum and sweet toasted oak finish. Big, bold, full bodied and lush. Great amarone. — 4 months ago

Seemingly more youthful than the notes on my last bottle, about 20 months ago, would suggest. A fair amount of bricking at the rim, but the nose shows a nice integration of dark macerated cherry, Provençal herbs, iodiney minerals, and sun-baked earth. In the mouth, the tannins are there but resolving. Decent concentration, and sneaky acidity lifts it up a bit. Nice! — 16 days ago
