Nice wine with great aromas of fig, chocolate, blackberry, and raisins. Great mouthfeel and a smooth tannins. Get a little alcohol.

Off dry. Dark desiccated red and black fruits. Fig and prune and cassis. Oak spices. Earth. Minerality. High acidity, high tannins, full body. Correctly called it Amarone.

Oct 9th, 2022Deep garnet halo and ruby center. Earthy nose with fig and red fruit notes. Still plenty of acid, even after some decanting. It’s a 2018 vintage in 2025, so this can age for several more years. Dark cherry, fig, leather, tobacco, and plenty of tannin balance the rather boisterous acidity. It’s very good now but would be fun to try again in 6-7 years when the acid mellows.
