{"product_id":"masseto-2010-1-5l-owc-banded","title":"Masseto 2010 1.5L OWC [Banded]","description":"AG100 \"A wine of extraordinary purity, silkiness and finesse, the 2010 Masseto has it all. The flavors are bright, precise and exceptionally pure, but it is the wine’s total balance that is utterly compelling. What more can I ask from a wine? Absolutely nothing. There is often something magical about cooler, later-ripening vintages at the estate. The interplay of more moderate conditions with the inherent power of these sites can yield wines of profound beauty and brilliance. The 2010 is all that, and more. (Drink between 2016-2036)\" AG for VM Han 2017\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAG98+ The 2010 Masseto is powerful, heady and explosive, with tons of density and pedigree to burn. On the one hand, I am happy to check in on it tonight, but on the other hand, the 2010 is very clearly a wine for the future. I wouldn’t dream of opening a bottle any time soon. The 2010 has been showier, but tonight it is decidedly reticent, and that's a shame, as it can be transcendental. It was one of the latest harvests at the property. Picking started on September 18 and wrapped up October 4. (Drink between 2025-2040)\" AG for VM Jan 2020\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRP98 \"The 2010 Masseto is truly monumental, leaving you breathless and wordless all at once. Once you sip the wine, it takes a few minutes before you grasp the enormity of its beauty and potential. You almost have to wonder how enologist Axel Heinz could conceive of a wine this beautiful - and how did he execute it? I could wax poetic for hours: Dark cherry, chocolate, baking spice and tobacco smoke lift off the bouquet in thin veils and magical puffs. The quality of the aromas is exceptional, but again, the seamless integration is what makes Masseto a protagonist of Italian wine. No matter how much time goes by, that beauty will remain firmly etched in your memory bank. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.\" ML for TWA Aug 2013","brand":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50303590858989,"sku":"ITY:MAS:MASS-1500-2010-F0L0C0","price":2395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/masseto-2010-1-5l-owc-banded","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
