  Deep ruby red colour with red brim. Actually still quite a youthful appearance, would certainly never think that this is 18 years old. Nose is mature but in no way tired and shows notes of dried fruit, leather, underbrush and some fresh tobacco. Mouthfeel is mature, dry, with smooth tannins, decent acidity and notes of dried cherries, leather and underbrush.
  
  Sugar is by now totally integrated, and the mouthfeel is dry.
  
  I must say that this wine surprised and impressed me. It's actually a relatively cheap and "simple" wine, but at 18 years of age it's still alive and kickin'. Mature, of course, but in no way over the hill. And I'm not even a fan of ripasso...

  Nearing the end of its shelf life, this 14 year old vintage featured mellow tannins, stewed fruit and interesting baking spice notes.

  These Masi 5-star vintage wines are the bomb, and age so well; I decided to put this 2006 to the test of aging and was rewarded: spiced-plum, anise, and black cherry kicked things off, then there was the long finish that added hints of coffee some cherry kirsch and even some cassis notes. Really pleasant and so happy I saved this one, though sadly it is my last bottle.

  You don't get to see 5-star vintages often and Masi is tougher than most when doling them out, you can see why they did it in 2006, even with 10 years on it the wine still feels fresh and lively: mocha, black cherry, cigar box, and very smooth.
