98 Points! Fabulous Amarone. Intensity: check, concentration: check, complexity: check, balance: check, typicity: check, length: check. Violet florals, stewed dark cherry and plum fruit, cigar box, baking spice, roasted coffee, vanillin, cedar, soy, black tea, sanguine minerality and a hint of balsamic VA . Tannins are soft but still present and ripe and dusty. Juicy acidity enlivens the sheer volume of this wine. 16% abv is integrated and lovingly warming. The depth is outstanding and length is marathon-like. Drinking beautifully now but has the stuffing for another two decades. Jan. 2022.
