I have made two of these so far and it is looking like it is going to be one of the best kits I've made. The first batch has been in the bottle for 6 weeks and I tried it the other day. It was good but still quite young. I can hardly wait to see what a few months does to this wine. Definitely worth trying if you like dry red wine.
Purchased this kit about 2 months ago and finished bottling it about a week ago. It's quite delicious, however a cheaper alternative is the Valpolicella style wine from Vino Italiano. Both are made from Paklab and in my opinion at this stage of consumption there is little difference between the two. I actually timed a Valpolicella kit to finish the exact day as the Amarone kit for better comparison. I'm also going to time the consumption in sync as to see if one ages better than the other.
In closing at this stage, I find the Chateau Classico Amarone kit to be good, but not worth the extra cost above the Vino Italiano Valpolicella wine kit knowing both products are from Paklab. We'll just have to see what the future holds.

This was (is) the first Chateau kit I bought. A bit more complicated then the description indicates. I've alerady made at least 20 different wine kits which were easier and 40 beer kits. Also which was not mentioned it should be fermented (and after bottling should be stored) in 55 degree enviroment (a year?) other wise I would not bought it. Maybe another variety if it could be fermented and stored at normal temps but hot this flavor. It is similiar to fermenting Lager at 55. I'm not going to build a special cooling room or buy a referigator just to do a batch or two of beer or wine! As it is I can't comment on its taste yet give me a year on that.
