Masseto - Toscana IGT 2009

Masseto, un lieu magique

Sur la côte toscane italienne, surplombant la mer Tyrrhénienne près du petit village de Bolgheri, se trouve une colline magique. Le vin produit ici n'était pas censé exister : Masseto. L'homme, le sol et le vignoble : voilà les trois éléments à l'origine de sa réussite.

Masseto est le nom d'un vin, d'un vignoble et d'un domaine unique. Le potentiel de la pente sur laquelle se trouve le vignoble, homonyme de Masseto a été pressenti au début des années 1980, lorsque les premières vignes ont été plantées, contre toute attente, contre les recommendations et la tradition locale. L'intuition a porté ses fruits. Le sol fait d'argile bleue, la fraîcheur de la brise côtière et l'excellente réfraction de la lumière garantie par la mer Méditerranée contribuent à l'intriguant mélange de puissance, d'élégance et de complexité qui rendent ce vin unique. Depuis sa création, Masseto a acquis une renommée

An effusive aroma of ripe black cherry announces the seriousness of this red, which is concentrated and intense, with shadings of plum and spice from the toasty, smoky oak. Though broad-shouldered, there's a sense of harmony, followed by an expansive finish. Just a bit brawny on the finish. Best from 2015 through 2030. 400 cases imported.

Superripe, pure aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet, minerals, milk chocolate and exotic spices. Superconcentrated, rich and seamless, offering explosive sweetness but also great verve, thanks to bright acidity that provides wonderful lift and clarity to the blackberry, blueberry and black cherry flavors. Finishes with ultra-suave tannins and a kaleidoscope of violet and Oriental spice flavors. A very great Masseto from a hot year, when I would have expected the merlot to suffer a bit. But unlike in 2003, when it wasn't just hot but dry as well, Masseto's unique microclimate allowed the merlot to avoid major stress in 2009. As good and refined as the Ornellaia is in 2009, I think the Masseto has an extra layer of complexity and depth.

Sexy and muscular. Blackberries, licorice and tar on the nose. Bark, earth, and spice as well. Super subtle. Full-bodied, with super chewy tannins and a wonderful line. So beautiful. Creamy tannins. A baby 2001 but not quite the depth or complexity. Try in 2016.

The 2009 Masseto bursts from the glass with dark red berries, blackberries, flowers, licorice and tar. It shows lovely up-front juiciness and expressive inner perfume in a surprisingly accessible style for this wine. Like the Ornellaia, the 2009 Masseto has quite a bit of freshness, although it, too, is medium-bodied in structure. In this vintage the Ornellaia team was especially selective and only used part of the three vineyards that typically go into Masseto. I have been fortunate to taste every vintage of Masseto, most more than once recently. Masseto has a great track record for aging, even in the smallest, least promising of vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. The 2009 vintage was not easy at Tenuta dell’Ornellaia because of the scorching hot summer. Readers may want to take a look at my video interview with Axel Heinz for more on the 2009 vintage. 94+
