Intriguing wine. Keeps changing every 10 minutes in the glass for days on end. Started off as a dry red wine with dark saline and savory flavors and morphed into a more typical Amarone that showed sweet cherry flavors and hints of game meat. Dried flowers, spices, earth and fig paste. Intensely floral on the nose and tons of complexity. Medium body but very intense finish. The proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. I really loved this.
