How are your Amarones coming along?
I just tasted the one we started 4/2/08which got 7 weeks extended lees contact and am wondering how others are faring with this wine.
At tasting this morning, the KT smell was allI could smell at first. I let it sit and hour and then tasted. It was surprisingly fruit forward, little acid,little tannin butsome oak was present. Color is fabulous. The winesheets the glass and feels smooth in the mouth. No bouquet yet. I thought I would sense more flavorbalance but fruity might be good too. It's pretty good at this point. Hmmm....
I am thinking ofletting this set on dark oak for a while but would appreciate thoughts from you formum members before I do that.
