Brief notes at a good Italian restaurant in Sanctuary Cove. We don’t often drink Amarone but we love it when we do. Rich and supple, blackberry like liquid Fruit and Nut milk chocolate. Touch of liquorice. An excellent match with Beef Ragu with Pappardelle pasta.

The 2017 Amarone Classico Costasera is intense, with masses of dried black cherries and mocha complicated by spiced citrus rinds and a dusting of cocoa. This is a total pleasure on the palate, seamlessly silky and elegant with a spicy core of red fruits. The 2017 tapers off with tremendous length, staining the palate in youthful concentration yet remaining completely fresh. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023)

1/2024. Bold. Good fruit. Nice finish. 1/3 bottle left over not as good the next day.

Nose is dark cherries, thyme, plum
Flavor: Tart red fruits, medium acidity, light tannins. Light bodied. Savory while still having juiciness.

Excellent! Would but again.

Mind blowing! High alcohol with complex bouquet.
In a blind tasting of 8 wines at home, this was the winner amongst new world, Bourgogne and Bordeaux
