Masi Amarone Costasera

Romazini: 3/5 Stars

Costasera, Amarone Masi - A solid classic that remained on the floor what prices are concerned.

The Winespectator: 91/100 Points

Pretty blueberry and cherry aromas on the nose, with lovely intensity. Full-bodied, round and juicy, with loads of fruit and a soft, caressing palate. Long finish. So good now. Drink now through 2018. 35,000 cases made

Robert Parker: 90/100 Points

The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera is a beautiful version of this wine. The medium-bodied 2006 Costasera offers up an attractive array of ripe red cherries, flowers, spices and sweet herbs, with lovely balance and tons of polish. Tar, smoke and licorice linger on the close. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.

This is one of the strongest groups of wines I have tasted from Masi - a historic, reference-point producer in these parts - in some time.
