Notes de la critique
- Robert Parker / Wine Advocate 91
The rich 1994 Masseto is a Merlot-dominated cuvee with lavish quantities of spicy new oak. In addition to the obvious pain grille notes, the Masseto exhibits less evolution than the 1995 Ornellaia. This full-bodied, spicy, rich wine cuts a broad swath on the palate. It requires another 12-18 months of bottle age, after which it should continue to improve for a decade. It will last for 15 or more years.

Superb winemaking. Notable for its dark, inky color, intense cassis and berry aromas, this wine is full-bodied and very silky with a long, long finish. An outstanding Merlot, as usual from this producer. Best after 1999. ?JS

I like this a little more than the 1993 now. It's a little lean, illustrating the rains during the harvest in 1994, but it shows a pretty berry and blackberry character with just the right amount of tobacco. It's refined and beautifully textured with a delicious finish. Drink now.

The 1994 Masseto is not a wine I have had often, but it is so compelling tonight. The aromatics alone are totally beguiling. A whole range of floral, savory and spice notes are woven throughout a core of red-toned fruit. Delicate and nuanced, the 1994 is utterly beguiling. I absolutely loved it. Readers who own it should be thrilled. The growing season was marked by an early flowering but normal harvest time, which means the cycle was on the longer side. Maybe that explains why the 1994 is such a complete and alluring wine.
Le producteur : 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.
