Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 2005

Veneto, ItalyVery spicy, black cherry jam, licorice, coffee, black olive, tobacco, plum, chocolate and dried herb aromas. Rich, round, dry, somewhat fresh palate with light, grainy, tannins. Black cherry, chocolate, tobacco, peppery, resin, black olive, smoky herb flavours. Good concentration and length but just a bit too tart and edgy on the finish. Needs a year or two to round out or try with grilled veal chop or turkey.Tasted: 14 September 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
