Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Costasera 2005

Amarone Della Valpolicella, Italy

WineSaint
Rich, brooding fruit meets formidable structure, but the 2005 vintage shows its limitations. Concentrated dark cherry and dried fruit power through, yet the aromatics lack precision and focus. The tannins grip hard on the finish, creating a somewhat austere impression that never fully resolves. Undeniably muscular and characterful, but the structural elements don't quite mesh into harmony.
