Wow, Fortuna was with me today when I picked up this amazing Amarone. I wanted a wine to pair with the chicken marsala I was making for dinner and at $16, it was a bargain I couldn't pass up! It is still very young so it is a fruit forward wine. Almost like a mox between port, dry sherry, and primativo. The raisins used to make this produced a wine with aromas of ripe black cherry, stewed plums, clove and cinnamon. The pairing was superb but it has the structure to stand up to game roasts or osso bucco. I may buy a few more bottles to open in 5-8 years. At this price, I can't lose! Need to run to TJ'S to stock up.

Edit: this wine really came together after being open for two hours - tannins. Alcohol, and body are well integrated and balanced.

Great value for an amarone. Enjoyed by all. Will buy again. (Bought at Trader Joe's.) Loved 2012 vintage. Wish I could compare side by side.

Decent on the nose w/typical raisiny red fruit, pepper & damp Earth but the finish was very abrupt. Lacking in depth, concentration and finesse - but then again it was only $16

A little light for an Amarone but still a nice drinkable wine.
