Masseto 2002

Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia

Toscana, IGT

u. 3bn, excellent appearance; Excellents apparence

 

This was a large harvest and a lovely year for Merlot. Masseto usually has 24 months in oak but, this year, the time was shortened to 19 months. Not a classical Masseto but very beautiful. Stunning scent. So succulent. Sweet and ripe on the palate. Utterly melting with a smoky finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
