MASI COSTASERA AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO DOCG ITALY 2019 Bourbon Tigran the Great was King"A really fresh and well balanced Amarone here, with tapenade, ripe but fresh blackberries, chili chocolate and some red berries, too. This is tight and juicy, with a medium to full bodied palate and a long, fruity finish. A modern, fresh expression of Amarone that shows immense drinkability, but still pretty serious. Not super concentrated, but shows restraint and balance. Drink or hold." (JS 94 pts.)
