Dory bought some wines recently and included a couple of bottles of Amarone, a 2006 and a 2005. Unfortunately, both bottles are gone to the recycling station, but it's fair to say that both were good, the 2005 much better. These wines didn't have that strong raisin flavor that some of them have, but they were both complex, long lived wines. We had them with grilled steak.
Then, the NEXT night, we had a Brunello di Montalcino 2003 that I received as a birthday gift. Wow! I don't normally drink many Brunellos, because of the price and because at that price I like Barolo or Amarone. Wow. It was awesome. Complex, not strong tannins (which we like, but this wine was extremely well balanced), long finish... just a wonderful experience. We had it with roast chicken and roast vegetables.
