So bright and perky for a 14 year old wine made from dried grapes! So bright and perky period, actually. Red-fruit forward but with plum fruit leather and dried apricot but like soaked in a brine of incense—there’s spice and leather hiding in there but the fruit leads the way. Heady. At least in alcohol department it’s a stunner in a leather jacket on a bike but once it escorts you to your picnic sport it’s all fancy, brie, baguette and grapes it may even peel for you (except not that because it’s tannins are so appealingly ripe).
It finishes like a likely spiced cordial who also knows how to spar, light on its surprisingly sturdy toes. — 9 days ago

14.5% but doesn’t come across that hot. Prettier than it should be. But solid backbone. Red fruited. Charming. 2019 — a month ago

Light but great flavor. Let it air for several minutes and the taste will evolve/inprove — 25 days ago

WOTN in my book.

Drinking really well on release, most guessed 6-8yrs of age. Almonds, vanilla, cream, pears, and lemon curd throughout. Deep wine. Very complex. — 25 days ago

She’s deep and dark, full of ink and dried blackberry, but there’s something playful here—this wine is quintessential perky-goth wheee you’re like “are they that morbid or is that a smile I just saw on the dance floor when Annie Lennox started playing”? Full of chocolate and dried and stewed berries but also fresh herbs. Par for the course 15% abv but that’s tame in Amarone-land. I like this a lot. Now making dinner so the 15% doesn’t have its way with me before there is food in my belly. — 23 days ago

An eleven year old Amarone! What a treat. Super balanced and complex. The intensity of the wine perfect paired with our red pepper gnocchi dish. — 24 days ago
