Masseto
Toscana Merlot
Tuscany, Italy
Elegant and at 30 years really starting to show its age with a bit too much oxidation. The finesse and elegant structure, the valve between fruit and acidity is still there but the wine is showing mainly tertiary elements now - lots of dried herbs, mint, mushroom and earth with just hints of the plum, black cherry and blueberry that were once there. Very long finish ands very much for those who appreciate aged wines.

My first Massetto incredible ! Great balance at 21 years. Great wine to start a very good night.
