Product Description
JS99 "Fantastic aromas of lavender, rosemary, violets and currants. Full body, a wonderful concentration of fruit yet tense and taunt energy. The new wood is exposed now but will become integrated and polished. Give it three or four years together. The pure merlot magic is there. The 2011 was a perfect wine, and this is very close indeed." JS Aug 2015
AG97 " The 2012 Masseto is an incredibly sexy wine. I can’t believe how expressive it is here. The year was mostly warm and dry, but not excessively so. Raspberry jam, mint, spice, white chocolate and sweet floral notes all race out of the glass. Sumptuous in feel, with gorgeous, open-knit fruit and soaring aromatic intensity, the 2012 dazzles from start to finish. What a wine!" AG for VM Jan 2020
LP97 "While showing some earthy tertiary notes at this point, there is still so much fresh fruit character in the glass of the 2012 Masseto. The wine exhibits the tremendous ageability of this site, with refined tannins, and a chiseled acid, enveloping the flavors of strawberry gelée, plum tart, mocha, and mint and a finish that goes on for days."
