Not what it should be

3 stars

A Tesco Customer29th December 2021

The bottle was 2017. I opened, decanted, waited for a couple of hours and tasted. It was thin and light. Amarone should be dark, 'chocolate', and rich. I double-checked with a proper wine buff (used to run hotels, has forgotten more about wine than I will ever know) and he said it was so light you could drink it with turkey. Disappointing.

A bit thin.

3 stars

A Tesco Customer19th November 2021

A bit thin. Not a very good Amarone. Disappointing.

Very good

4 stars

A Tesco Customer17th November 2021

I like "Big Red" wines and hadn't previously drunk Amarone though heard lots about it, of course. I expected a really dark-verging-on-black colour as it came out of the bottle after leaving it to breathe for 12 hours. I was slightly disappointed when what emerged was a wine of medium body appearance. It's good, though! The nose is richer than the colour would suggest, and the taste is pleasantly fruity but very, very smooth. It washed down a mushroom stroganoff very nicely indeed.

Not an Amarone as I know it.

3 stars

A Tesco Customer1st January 2021

It does not have the depth of a good Amarone and rather than a subtle sweetness has a slightly acidic finish which I do not expect from this type of wine. Its ok but there is a reason it is less expensive than most Amarone's.

Worth getting to know.

5 stars

A Tesco Customer17th December 2020

Incredible flavours and depth from a unique method of winemaking. Not too heavy but profound nonetheless. This is overlooked sadly. Seriously this is worth getting to know even though you may have not heard of it before.

Superb !

5 stars

A Tesco Customer14th December 2020

This is absolutely superb ! To find a premium wine such as Amarone under Tesco own label is real find. My favourite red wine, particularly as i've only ever bought it when the 25% events are on - a (relative) bargain !

Ideal for a special occasion it is really smooth.

5 stars

A Tesco Customer5th September 2020

This is a marvellous wine, never had a bad bottle although I only drink it on special occasions and when my rich son buys it for me. He introduced me to it, thank you son. Too strong for my partner so I have to drink it all myself 😔😉
