Tonight, we decanted this full bodied 2017 Amarone Della Valpolicella for about an hour and as it continued to open it got even better. It was very fragrant on the nose with aromas of black fruit, licorice, raisins and spice. On the palette it was silky and smooth, with flavors of blackberry, blueberry, red fruit, plum, fig, black current, tobacco, leather, oak, chocolate and spice. I rated this special wine a 4.3 out of 5.
