A winner for aging as usual

Still took a couple of Hours to open up, like a good Amarone should.

Nose of blackberry licorice
Deep black fruits playing with bright red ones, subtle licorice, still very heavy in body, with the perfect tannin to acidity Ratio.
Last one in the cellar me thinks.

Raisin, fig, prune, wet hay and warm baked fruit including black cherries on the palette. Paired well with sea salt dark chocolate.

Concentrated fruit, but also solid structure. More tannins and drier then I recall from the 10 and 12 vintages, so this is a surprise. But a very pleasant one!

Stewed plums and mocha - not bad.

Still youthful and very promising, slightly higher acidity and coating tannic persistent finish on the palate, 5% Molinara giving it traditional style #SimplyGreatItalianWines #Vino2017 #Miami #Amarone

Fruit has cherry and almost raisin taste. Full bodied and nice medium plus acidity. Ready to drink.

Opened up into a true explosion of flavors ranging from jammy strawberry to deep dark fall leaves that I jogged in this morning. Walked to the store, bought it, opened it and ready to put my amazing daughter, who is visiting us for Thanksgiving, into awe with this nearly as amazing wine.
