"The wine is quite reserved on the nose to start, but with a decant it opens up nicely. The wine has aromas of red-cherry preserve, ripe plum, clove, anise and cinnamon. The palate is elegant with notes of dried leaves, dark chocolate and dark cherries. The tannins are already well integrated, giving the wine a magnificent texture. Expect to enjoy this for a while Best from 2025-2035. Jeff Porter"

"Dense and dark-fruit aromas of plum, blackberry, and black currant fill the glass, aided by subtle hints of bay leaf and star anise. The palate is bold and plump. The dark fruits dominate the palate but give way to bittersweet chocolate and savory spices on the finish. The tannins are firm with a long finish. Drink from 2025-2035. Jeff Porter"

"Underbrush, ripe plum, camphor and spice are just some of the aromas you'll find in this full-bodied red. Juicy and savory, the bold palate offers blackberry jam, prune, licorice and tobacco alongside an earthy hint of truffle. Velvety tannins provide seamless support. Drink through 2027. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Reichhaltiges Bouquet, Backpflaumen, frische Feigen, Amarenakirsche, auch Vanille und etwas Mandel. Am Gaumen druckvoll, kraftvoller Körper, dennoch Finesse. Dunkle Frucht auf der Zunge, dazu Kakao, Zimt, etwas Tabak. Zart süsslicher Schmelz, ausgeglichen mit feiner Säure. Das Holz noch spürbar, leicht würzig. Langer Nachhall."

"This opens with aromas of black-skinned fruit, underbrush, tobacco and culinary spice. The full-bodied velvety palate doles out prune, soaked cherry, star anise and mocha wrapped up in polished tannins. It boasts enough fresh acidity to lift the rich flavors. Drink now through 2025. Kerin O'Keefe"

"(2019) Beautiful, resolved nose, a touch of delightful oxidation, coffee and chocolate but still that cherry ripe red fruit clarity. In the mouth it is silky and dense, a flood of quite meaty and fleshy black fruit, super ripe tannins and lovely plum and cherry skin acidity giving length. A beautifully resolved and complete wine."

93 of 100 Points.
"Tom Cannavan" has rated the wine "Masi Costasera" from the vintage 2013 on 01.01.2019 with 93 of 100 points.
"(2019) Comes only from the slopes with long sunset exposure - hence the name - and at least 90 days appassimento, followed by 24 months in oak - mostly large barrels - and a year in bottle. Delightful dried cherry and herbs, a nice note of mneatness, but elegance too. Andrea says it is a "25 year wine." In the mouth lovely lifted cherry and floral aromas come to fruition, delicate and energetic flavours despite being a big wine - a gentle giant - with such lovey precision yet warmth and weight with that touch of sweet dried fruit in the finish."

"Grandes Escolhas" has rated the wine "Masi Costasera" from the vintage 2011 on 01.01.2019 with 18 of 20 points.
"Cor concentrada e opaca. Aroma profundo e muito complexo. Cereja e ameixa secas, licor de ginja, rebuçado de café, alcaçuz, tabaco e chocolate preto com passas. Sugestões de especiaria (canela e pimenta preta). Envolvente e aveludado, disfarça bem a força e surpreende pela frescura presente. Mastigável, impactante, com tanino maduríssimo. Ervas secas, cedro e tabaco persistem no final prolongado."

"Intensives, sattes Rubinrot. Filigran-elegante Nase nach reifen Waldbeeren, Schokolade, im Nachhall leicht nach Zigarrenkiste. Am Gaumen überragt der süße Schmelz, baut sich weit und in vielen Schichten auf, elegant, im zweiten Teil stets saftig und ausgewogen, wunderbar harmonisch bis ins lange Finale. Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler"

"Beautifully crafted and immediate in terms of its aromatic delivery, Costasera is a fruit-driven Amarone with an emphasis on ripe berry fruit and smoky layers of exotic spice and tobacco. It offers round, soft berry flavors in the mouth and excellent persistency."

"Costasera, one of Masi's most popular expressions of Amarone, can be depended on for its consistent quality year after year. This vintage offers concentrated color and pretty notes of toasted nut backed by cherry, blackberry and mesquite wood. The wine's flavors are bright and fresh, the mouthfeel is clean and polished."

"(2008) Another blend of local Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, this time made by the "appassimento" method, when all grapes are dried for a few months before vinification, by which point they are concentrated and raisined, and weigh only around 35% of their harvest weight. It has lovely dried herb and earthy, savoury character with notes of smoky Lapsang souchon tea leaves and dark cherry fruit. The palate has lovely life and vibrancy, with a crisp cherry edge to chocolaty fruit and silky tannin structure. Very good balance. , AG Wines, Tesco, Oddbins, and see all UK stockists on wine-searcher.com ."
