This wine has a rather explosive nose - aromas of black cherry and smoke provide an ample backdrop for the balsamic notes that come later.  I get a whiff of smoked meat and a bit of black olive at times, too.  On the palate, the dark fruit is simply luscious, while the taste of licorice hangs around on the lengthy finish.  The tannins seem fairly tame at first sip, but they sharpen up later.

This wine speaks loudly through its minerals, but does not need to shout. The dark liquid gives off aromas of meat, fine cigars, dried fruit and a slight raisiny note. It is a complete joy to smell, let alone to drink. The palate is silky smooth, with tannins on the back end. Dark fruit dominates the flavor profile, but there is a hefty chunk of savory minerality that elbows through - ever so elegantly. Pair it with pasta, marinara, Bolognese, or just sip it and make dinner wait.

I love amarone, but it lacked the raisin aspect I so enjoy. Needs more time

Reona's birthday dinner wine. Needed decanting and a lot of airing to open up and take the edge off.

Lacking structure and body like most Amarone. Would have been good with pasta but lacked body for the steak dinner.
