Allegrini, Amarone 2000

Very deep, dull, red.

Hay, truffle/earth /nut reduction sauce aromas. Cherry jam in the background.

Very deep, packed impression is immediately countered by strong acid/tannin synergy. Mid-palate is lean, finish a bit brutal.

Vinturi = No hay. Truffle/amaretto/cherry jam aromas. Nice entry, and much better follow through, mid-palate to finish. But this doesn't have the concentration of the best vintages.

Day 3 - Deep truffle/earth/charcoal, amaretto, gravy nose. Still not cohesive in the mouth, lacks length/concentration.
