This is Amarone della Valpolicella! Old, long, full bodied, dry finish. Cherries in dark chocolate, spicey

Dried herb, iron/blood. Rose. Totally fresh - direct. Nutty aspect on late palate. Barbera and Sangiovese, 10% each, shine and give a unique profile

Pungently herbal floral nose, palace is richer and ripe cherry, then herbal on retrogusto again, very high acidity, pH is 3.64, thanks most of all to 10% Barbera and 10% Sangiovese #SimplyGreatItalianWines #Vino2017 #Miami #Amarone

HWT - delicious amarone, easy drinking, boozy, hint of raisin. $76 and 16% - would buy if a power buy for $50 or less

Wow. This is one classy amarone. Well defined notes of dry dirt, dry flowers, and dried fruit on the nose. Smooth and sweet on palate, well balanced. A stunner, a model of its type - tough to picture a better amarone. Gift from Nate.

Red cherry upfront followed by a bit of plum or raisins (in a good way).

So disappointed. Strong overly sweet overtones. None of the complexity you expect from an Amarone.

Good but not perfect. A bit unbalanced with a heavy sweet edge. Lacked a long deep penetrating finish.
