Masi Amarone with Tony Apostolakos, US Director of Masi Agricola (Vinopolis, Portland, OR): Some strange green veggies on the nose (green beans and brussles sprouts), but I really like this aspect, as it's mingling with some cherries coated in Christmas spices. Really nice mix of earth and fruit on the palate... quite delicious. Some almost moldy character on the finish (but I enjoy it), as acid and tart funkiness linger heavy and long on the finish. Really pleasing complexity and lingering character, with 40+ seconds later still showing some evolution. Best Amarone of the lineup. 91+

Masi tasting with Dr. Sandro Boscaini (The National Club, Toronto): Dark ruby colour. Aromas of chalk, black cherry, vanilla, cocoa, and raisins. Medium-full bodied, lovely structure, with dark fruit, raisins, plums, and cocoa. Moderate finish, 35-40s, with dark fruit, raisins, and cocoa. Quite nice.

Very soft and silky. Incredible strong nose. Earthy. Taste is much more smooth then what you expect after smelling

Hot nose. Chocolate, raisin pie, tar, marmite and cumin aromas. Full and hot palate with rich flavours and a long, raisined finish.

Fairly large tasting. Minimal notes. Some earthiness to it.
