This is an exemplary example of classic Amarone. Blackcurrant, cherry, raisined blackberry, meat, truffle, and tar.

You'll love this if: If you're looking for Amarone, this is super hard to go past. It's a really high performer, that happens to be good value.
Maybe skip this if: You misclicked and are looking for Pinot Noir? Just go into this knowing it's a big wine, but it's a big wine with balance.

When to open it: It drinks well now, but will improve steadily until 2039. That being said, don't shy away from drinking it on the earlier end of that range - it looks amazing as is.
