Masseto Bolgheri 2008
Another Mediterranean vintage with a hot summer, but the harvest was later than in the 2011, and there is more balance and opulence. The aromatics are standout, with curls of woodsmoke offsetting the powerful hug of tannins and fruit. Still young, but the evolution is becoming evident, as the structure begins to soften up. You feel the opulence and the richness of the vintage and the charater of Merlot on this site. Campfire, balsamic, liquroice, cocoa beans, turmeric, and a vintage where it is so enjoyable to explore the different spices that are drawn out of Merlot in Bolgheri compared to Pomerol. 100% new oak.
