About the Masi Costasera Amarone Classico Riserva 2016/2017 1.5L Magnum
Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant: this is a special cru version of Masi's gentle giant, Costasera. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Opaque dark red. Intense, super-ripe fruit, cinnamon, vanilla. Warm and satisfying, baked fruit, sweet spices, cooked cherries, cloves, dry and long finish. Attractively long finish.
Ideal with red meat, game and mature cheeses. Fine after-dinner drink.
96 Points - James Suckling
Hillside, south-west facing slopes are the source, as always at this address. 70% corvina, 15% rondinella, 10% oseleta and a dash of molinara. Oseleta's thick, skin-heavy solid-to-liquid ratio serves as a bulwark against a warming climate, imparting tannins and very bright acidity. A fine variety, serving a warming region well while adding a sense of completion to the blend. It is often picked as late as October. This is excellent. Dense as much as it is remarkably sprightly and fresh. Aromas of pine, fennel and layers of maraschino cherry, damson, balsamic, polished leather and high quality bitter chocolate. Finishes pithy, firm and nobly bitter. Drink or hold.
92 Points - Wine Spectator
A well-knit red, with fine tannins swathed in a silky texture, carrying flavors of plumped cherry and blackberry fruit, dried thyme and lavender, ground coffee and pepper. Fresh and focused through the lingering finish. Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Molinara. Drink now through 2034. 4,200 cases made, 700 cases imported.
