"Here's an older vintage wine from the library. The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva l'Amarone has marched that road of aging, showing evolved notes of tar, spice and barbecue spice beyond dried fruit, prune and fig. There is evident bulk and mass here, but in truth, the mouthfeel is more delicate and light than the wine initially lets on. It ends with dusty or powdery tannins."
