Gorgeous energy and depth define this mature Amarone. Dark cherry and dried fruit weave with violet, leather and fresh mint in a compelling aromatic display. The palate shows impressive concentration and balance. Rich yet never cloying, with fine-grained tannins that speak to Masi's craftsmanship. Long, mineral-driven finish suggests this beauty will cruise through 2010.
