2004 drinking like a 2012. Still so fresh, full of life and showing no signs of slowing down. Get more oak influence on this than other Amarone. Figs and plums, cedar and cigar box, chocolate creme and vanilla. Layered, supremely concentrated and utterly hedonistic. Fantastic.

Brooding and roaring! Settles in nicely with the tertiaries - black tea, violets, leather, and potting soil. Fruit is there too, blackberry, blueberry, pluots, figs, and plums. Finish is equally enticing and lasting. More please!

WoW this is in the zone!!
Hardly showing age on color. Fruit and wood very well integrated. Marzipan in the nose as is tobaco and some cinnamon. Still enough tanins present in a nice way.

Showing already aging with brownish edges. Hints of fruit, secondairy alteady mushrooms, forest, boiled meat. Lets see how this one evolves.

2004 vintage on 2.2.2017. Dark red with a brown shade. Interesting nose with cherrie, licorice, wood. Fantastic silky mouthfeeling. Nice sweets and bitters.

Wonderful Amarone. Smooth texture, typical raisin notes accompanying red fruit
