Beautiful balance of bright sour cherry and the deeper golden raisin flavors. Great tannin structure and some tan soil terroir notes give the fruit depth. The nose is a lively preview. Definitely shines at cellar temps — don’t let this one get to room temp or the alcohol gets too hot (at 15.5% that’s bound to happen). Drinking great 7 years in.

Très bon manque un peu d'équilibre en bouche dans mes mot manqué de punch pour 85$ la bouteille.

Had the wine with Greek Tuna and a Greek salad. It was okay, bit not something I would buy again.

2010-- not a typical Amarone in terms of rich robust fruit. Feels a lot more neatly structured and in its own right a fine wine, just not what I'd point to as an example of an Amarone
