Excellent wine. When first opened, the dominant nose is of alcohol, but after decanting and waiting 30 minutes this opens up nicely and offers up summer fruits with a hint tobacco. On the palate you can taste the fruitiness upfront which moves into a velvety smooth long finish, where you get a hint of the alcohol and a bit of spice. Pleasantly, this is a much more delicate expression of the often big and bold Amarone style, and would pair well with any less fatty meats – game or leaner cuts of beef and lamb. I will be ordering at least another case!
