The 2004 Masseto is all silk and elegance. The 2004 is arguably the most finessed, silky Masseto ever made. Bright floral notes add lift and precision to a core of sweet red berries and spices in this supple, exceptionally polished wine. This is the height of elegance and polish with Masseto. Drinking window: 2011-2024. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96 Pts)
Made from only Merlot grapes and matured in barriques for two years. The ruby color is always bright and the complex bouquet has aromas of raspberry and ripe cherry along with notes of coffee, tobacco and elegant spice. The mouthfeel is very rich, intense, bold and structured, with flavors consistent with the aromas and a very long aftertaste. (Doctor Wine, 97 Pts)
