94+ WA. "The excellent 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Costasera beautifully displays the power and balance of the 2007 vintage – one of the best ever for this historic estate in Valpolicella. This is a delicious and significant wine that displays an immensely elegant bouquet with blackberry, dark chocolate and Asian spice. What I love most is that this wine never colors outside the lines and it never feels overdone or overripe. It’s a modern rendition of Amarone that proudly carries its oak-driven aromas, but it also finds a way to neatly wrap all of its sinful excesses within the soft and velvety texture of its constitution."
