Masi Costasera Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2017 - 5 Litre Bottle

Product description
94 Points - James Suckling

A really fresh and well-balanced Amarone here, with tapenade, ripe but fresh blackberries, chocolate and some red berries, too. This is tight and juicy, with a medium-to full-bodied palate and a fruity finish. It is a modern, fresh expression of Amarone that shows immense drinkability but is still pretty serious. Not super-concentrated, but shows restraint and balance.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

The wine is exceptionally reserved on the nose to start, but it opens up nicely with a decant. The wine has aromas of red cherry preserve, ripe plum, clove, anise and cinnamon. The palate is elegant, with notes of dried leaves, dark chocolate, and cherries. The tannins are already well integrated, giving the wine a magnificent texture.
