I'm finally down to my last 5 bottles of Amarone from CC. This was the 2004/2005 vintage and I can safely say that even with 1.5" corks, this wine has enough structure to still be at its peak even 6 years later!

Very few kits can do that without doctoring a little. The bitterness is coming through most excellent! I'd even hazard a guess that this wine can last 2 to 3 more years. Very nice.
 
Boy I wish I could say the same about mine. Light and fruity is how mine still tastes after 3 1/2 years. Would love for this to turn the corner but it refuses to budge.
 
Wow, you guys are amazing!

My plan is to hold on to a couple bottles from my top fav kits for that period as well to see what they turn into with time.

Must forget about them for a few more years!
 
Prretty easy to do, you just need to leave them in the carboy longer.
 
Mike, I think you'll be able to do that easily. You see, at one point, I made so much wine that I had over 1000 bottles, including commercial wine that I collect (Bordeaux). When you have the volume, it's easy to forget about wines you've made because there is so much to try.
 
I hear you. I have ~300 bottles commercial (I collect top end WA state stuff mainly) as well as ~500 bottles of my stuff with more in bulk.......
 
My MM Ren. Amarone is about 20 months old and hasn't even started to come around, yet. From what I have taste tested last month, it at least seems like it will be worth the long wait. I keep telling myself, "Patience, patience, patience!"

Agreed but it'll have to wait for an empty carboy.
