Tasting Note
96+ Points, Antonio Galloni, 2018-2033 Vinous The 2008 Masseto is stylistically closer to the 2006. An irregular set lowered yields while the warm, dry summer concentrated its efforts on the smaller crop. Cooler temperatures towards the middle of September lengthened the maturation cycle and allowed for the full development of aromatics and phenolic ripeness. The 2008 is a gorgeous, dense Masseto endowed with massive fruit and tons of structure. The only missing element is a degree of finesse, but that may develop in bottle. For now, the 2008 is a wine to bury in the deepest corner of the cellar. Review Date: 01 Apr 11
