On the nose, the typical notes of raisined fruit and cherry flavors are dominant. Mild hints of vanilla and spice are present as well. Elegant and warm with a velvety mouthfeel. Incredibly long, persistent finish that lingers on the palate. Amarone ages gracefully for upwards of 10 years if stored properly. This well-knit red is medium- to full-bodied and stylish, with a crowd-pleasing mix of cherry coulis, star anise, fig cake and mineral flavors. Lightly chalky tannins firm the spiced finish.
