Tasting notes

This was a good amarone, but not as great as I had hoped. There is some evolved notes creeping in now, but the wine does seem to lack the final touch of depth to become more than just good. Dark red colour. No signs of bricking. Nose shows hints of cherries, raisins, black olives, some leather and a touch of florality. Fullbodied amarone in the mouth with a lot of fruit. Raisins and kirsch. Some evloved notes of black olives and a little touch of leather. Fine, but perhaps a touch unfocused. The final depth is no there. Medium high acidity and little tannins in the back. Not the longest taste. Good wine.
