Masseto - Toscana IGT 2010

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

A wine of extraordinary purity, silkiness and finesse, the 2010 Masseto has it all. The flavors are bright, precise and exceptionally pure, but it is the wine’s total balance that is utterly compelling. What more can I ask from a wine? Absolutely nothing. There is often something magical about cooler, later-ripening vintages at the estate. The interplay of more moderate conditions with the inherent power of these sites can yield wines of profound beauty and brilliance. The 2010 is all that, and more.

I doubt many people could pick the 2010 Masseto blind in a lineup of top-flight Right Bank wines. An utterly brilliant, focused Merlot, the 2010 Masseto is totally alive and vibrant. A myriad of aromas and flavors develop in the glass, but ultimately the 2010 has a crystalline quality that I have never before seen in Masseto. The 2010 isn't quite as extroverted as the 2006, but it might very well move in that direction over time. Readers who are used to the forward, explosive fruit typical of young Masseto won't find that here. Instead, the 2010 is built on serious energy. In my view, it is without question one of the very finest Massetos ever made. In 2010, only the older, core Masseto parcels (Masseto Centrale and Alto) were used.Drinking window: 2018 - 2030

The 2010 Masseto is truly monumental, leaving you breathless and wordless all at once. Once you sip the wine, it takes a few minutes before you grasp the enormity of its beauty and potential. You almost have to wonder how enologist Axel Heinz could conceive of a wine this beautiful - and how did he execute it? I could wax poetic for hours: Dark cherry, chocolate, baking spice and tobacco smoke lift off the bouquet in thin veils and magical puffs. The quality of the aromas is exceptional, but again, the seamless integration is what makes Masseto a protagonist of Italian wine. No matter how much time goes by, that beauty will remain firmly etched in your memory bank. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. This year Ornellaia celebrates the 25th anniversary of its flagship wine, the eponymous Ornellaia (1988-2013). General Director Leonardo Raspini and his team decide to celebrate with a commemorative edition of the wine packaged in an etched bottle with gold lettering.Drink: 2015 - 2030

Falstaff

par Peter Moser le 01/08/2013

Sattes, funkelndes Rubinviolett. Eröffnet in der Nase mit einem feinen Hauch von Gewürzen, dann viel satte Beerenfrucht, viel Brombeere, im Hintergrund nach edler Schokolade. Sehr dicht und cremig, vereint vorbildlich Kraft mit Eleganz, öffnet sich mit dichtmaschigem, aber sehr fein geschichtetem Tannin, süßer Kern, saftig und salzig, zeigt enorme Länge und Tiefe, grandios!

A wine with amazing depth and grace with super integrated tannins and currant, berry character. Full body, with great fruit and a long, long,long finish. Truly great. Great depth of fruit with layers of tannins and wonderful freshness. A classic quality in this pure Merlot wonder. Try in 2017.

Rich and concentrated, showing blackberry, plum, clove and spice flavors buoyed by dense tannins. With aeration, a cedar note emerges and the texture becomes smooth and seamless. Tightly knit and refined, this will be terrific once the oak has integrated. Merlot.Best from 2016 through 2032.Bruce Sanderson
