"Kraftvolles, leuchtendes Rubin. Eröffnet in der Nase mit Noten nach würzigem Honig und Tannennadeln, dann viel dunkle Kirsche, wirkt sehr frisch. Am Gaumen griffiges, zupackendes Tannin, ummantelt von süßer Frucht, fester Druck, braucht noch Lagerung."

"Intensives, fast undurchdringliches Rubinrot mit violettem Rand. Duftige und vielschichte Nase nach satten Amarenakirschen, Brombeeren, Cassis, getrocknete Pflaumen, untermalt von einem leichten Touch der Bitterschokolade. Am Gaumen sehr vielschichtig und komplex, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, konzentriert und körperreich, insgesamt sehr ausgewogen und harmonisch, endet mit festem Druck, kann und soll noch etwas reifen. Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler"

"Black plum, prune, tobacco, mocha, dark chocolate, Mediterranean herbs and black pepper characterize the nose of this full-bodied, opulent wine. The palate is exceedingly rich but balanced, with just enough fresh acidity and round, velvety tannins. Impressive intensity continues to the finish. Drink through 2020."

"This muscular Amarone has an almost overripe fragrance, along with chocolate and vanilla notes. The alcohol is forward on the palate, but it also delivers sweet plum, prune and black pepper flavor, with hints of vanilla and coffee. This is direct and powerfully structured."

"This is a real beauty, with huge intensity and loads of deep chocolate fudge, black cherry, cola, barbecue and black licorice flavors. It manages contrasting tones of sweet versus savory that pleasure the tastebuds. The palate is rich, smooth and superconcentrated."

"Diese nach dem Gründer der Kellerei benannte Riserva wird nur in den besten Jahren erzeugt, die Corvina-, Rondinella- und Oseletta-Trauben dafür stammen von alten Reben in Sant´Ambrogio: Nimmt mit seinem Aroma nach Pflaumenconfit und Schokolade für sich ein; der Ansatz kompakt, hat Finesse und viel Charakter und einen überzeugend anhaltenden Abgang. Sollte noch lange reifen."

"Here's an ageworthy Amarone that opens with dark chocolate, licorice, plum cake, cinnamon and sweet blackberry jam. The wine is soft and velvety with a solid tannic structure that needs to unwind with more time in the cellar. Already, the wine's amazing intensity and richness promise beautiful things to come."

"Gorgeous, rich and penetrating, this wine excels in terms of the elegance of its aromas. Layers of black fruit, spice, mesquite, beef jerky, cola and soy sauce are perfectly integrated and the wine shows plump, ripe richness on the close. Promises to age 10 years or more."

"Here's a ripe, dark and dense wine with mature aromas of jammy fruit and berry marmalade backed by subtle nuances of roasted nut, cola and exotic spice. The wine is broad and big in the mouth with a chewy, rich finish."

"Slightly heavy, but by no means has it lost its style, balance or zip. The bouquet is packed with road tar, dark cherry and chocolate, and all together we found it ?simpatico.? As for flavors, look for chocolate, cherries, and Middle Eastern spices. Loaded with size and subtleties."
