This wine is so hard to rate. You either love or hate it. It’s almost a dessert wine with the sweetness it displays right from the bottle.
Early on, it had some depth and tannin to balance the sweetness and provide for some cherry and good fruit.
As it decanted and sat, it seemed to get sweeter as tannins faded.
This wine needed strong cheese to really balance it.
It was the favorite for some but then avoided by others. You have to really enjoy the sweetness without sugar. — 2 months ago

Turns out super well made Amarone is ideal match for Texas smoked brisket and ribs. Dense, layered and oh, so smooth. No clue where it’s hiding 17% alcohol. In a sweet spot with 30 minute decant. 🙏 @Michael Aronovici — 4 months ago

Superb Amarone! Still quite young actually. This wine is terrific. Minor point: if I compare the pricetag of this wine to their “normal” Amarone I would go for the latter — 16 days ago
