The estate’s 1988 Massseto takes things to another level. It is the first of the early wines that is stratospheric. In some ways, I wish we had decanted this a little longer. The 1988 is a firm, structured Masseto endowed with considerable power, length and the stuffing to drink well for at least another handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016. The 1988 is in my view the first truly epic Masseto.

Round and velvety, offering plenty of fruit. Deep, dark ruby in color, with super aromas of blackberries, cassis and mint. Full-bodied and overflowing with blackberry and cassis flavors. Has full, velvety tannins and a long, minty finish. Made from Merlot. ?
