Masseto 1998 (5 BT)

Masseto 1998

Toscana, IGT

u. 1vts, 1 very slightly sunken cork

At 14 years old, a fantastic bouquet of blueberries and spice - we decanted it just over an hour before drinking. There is a 'Pétrus connection' - it tasted a bit like Pétrus 1971 when it was young. But Masseto never tastes like Le Pin! Multi-layered with a flavour of spiced chocolate and, in this vintage, great fresh attack on the finish. A dose of Italian sun and genius. We drank it with osso buco. Serena Sutcliffe MW

陳年十四載，美妙的藍莓芬芳和辛香--品嚐前我們先醒酒，約逾一個小時。有點像年輕的1971年份柏翠堡。但 Masseto 和Le Pin的味道不可能會一樣！層次豐富，有一絲香料巧克力的味道，收結突然有一股鮮爽勁。充滿意大利陽光和傳統的味道。我們配搭了意大利燴牛膝享用。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
