Punches above its already massive weight. Meaty. Purple-y, plummy stone fruit overtones. Wonderful. — 3 years ago

@Timothy Eustis I gave it a 9.2. Definite bohunk with black pepper for days. Need to pick up some more. Would love to throw that into the Thanksgiving lineup.

Le Macchiole

Messorio Toscana Merlot 2019

Very dark garnet with a dry nose of leather, maybe tabacco, wood and black fruits. Pretty smooth for a dry wine, a touch plummy, some fruit and medium acidity. Less tannins than on the nose (been open for a few days but vacuum corked) but still clearly tannic. A very good wine! Thanks James! — 2 years ago
