99 James Suckling
Intense aromas of blackberries and black olives, together with hints of rosemary bush and lavender. Perfumed and nuanced. Full-bodied, yet so tight and integrated, with weightless tannins that frame the wine in a precise and curated fashion. Very structured and built for aging. It’s rather shy now, but will reward those who are patient. A kind of stealth in its nature. A more thought-provoking edition of Masseto. Needs time to show its true self. Try after 2027.

This bottle opens a new chapter for one of Italy's most celebrated and collected wines. The first vintage made entirely in its dedicated state-of-the-art winery (and the first vintage with a 10% dabble of Cabernet Franc added to what has historically aways been a pure expression of Merlot), the Masseto 2019 Masseto has two main themes at heart: concentration and elegance. And managing those two seemingly contrasting elements requires a little bit of magic. That's the Masseto magic we look for. The 2019 vintage delivers it in spades with lovely concentrated fruit, blackberry, integrated spice, tobacco, crushed slate, pencil shaving and lots of texture and fiber to push a lasting mouthfeel. The wine's richness translates into density and power to the palate, meanwhile the bouquet reveals fluidity and new sides as the wine opens in the glass. The finish is tapered and focused.
98 Wine Spectator
Tightly wound now, with blackberry, black currant, iron, rosemary, cedar and toasty oak spice aromas and flavors. Though firm and compact, this has plenty of fruit that persists on the vibrant, lingering and complex finish. Reveals very refined tannins. Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2042. 350 cases imported.

Masseto
Indiscutablement, Masseto est reconnu comme l’un des vins italiens les plus emblématiques. Cette micro parcelle unique de 7 hectares, sur un terroir riche en argile du Pliocène, bénéficie d’un climat méditerranéen clément et de douces brises maritimes : c’est ici que naît Masseto. Le vignoble, positionné sur un coteau en pente douce, se scinde en trois secteurs, dont la teneur en argiles varie d’un terroir à l’autre. Ce sont ces variantes en matière de sols, de climat, de topographie et de traditions qui constituent le terroir magnifique de Masseto. Celui-ci fait ensuite l’objet de soins attentifs de la part d’une équipe passionnée et dévouée qui aborde chaque étape de la récolte et de la vinification avec minutie. Fruits d’une quête d’excellence, ces différentes composantes s’unissent pour créer un vin hors pair, doté d’une complexité impressionnante et d’une élégance sublime.
