A bit of a disappointment compared to the ’61, but this was nonetheless quite enjoyable. The wine was very, very dark in color, and quite brown. It started off showing quite maderized, but interestingly that aspect faded as the wine got some air – due perhaps to the fruit emerging and overtaking those notes? In any case, notes of raisins and black fruits, still fairly dense fruit up front, but the wine falls short and hollow on the mid palate, but comes back at the end to make an intriguing and tasty finish. While I would not buy this particular wine again, it was interesting to taste, and by far the oldest Amarone I have ever had.
