90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera is a beautiful version of this wine. The medium-bodied 2006 Costasera offers up an attractive array of ripe red cherries, flowers, spices and sweet herbs, with lovely balance and tons of polish. Tar, smoke and licorice linger on the close. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018. This is one of the strongest groups of wines I have tasted from Masi - a historic, reference-point producer in these parts - in some time." (10/09)
