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.

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

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.

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.
Produttore
Masseto
Masseto è senza dubbio riconosciuto come uno dei vini più emblematici d'Italia. Un vigneto unico di appena 7 ettari, piantato su un terreno ricco di argille plioceniche, benedetto da un clima mite mediterraneo e da gentili brezze marittime: questo è il luogo di nascita di Masseto. Situato su una collina dai dolci pendii, il vigneto è suddiviso in tre sezioni, caratterizzate da tipi di terreno differenti a base di argilla. Le diverse variazioni di suolo, clima, terreno e tradizione costituiscono il magnifico terroir di Masseto, nutrito da un team appassionato e devoto che approccia ciascuna fase della vendemmia e della vinificazione in modo meticoloso. Alla ricerca dell'eccellenza, tutti questi elementi si uniscono per produrre un vino unico, con un'impressionante complessità e un'eleganza sublime.
