100 100DecanterIntense and full on the nose, fragrant with ripe black fruit, floral aspects and soft spicing. Round and full on the palate, it's rich and muscular yet tight and neatly coiled with a liquorice, graphite, pepper, cinnamon and clove tang that gives this immediate but enjoyable spice. Feels well worked, juicy with high acidity that lifts the palate and gives freshness and brightness alongside really quite mouthwatering strawberry and raspberry fruit with such captivating dried floral and bitter orange rind aspects. Tannins are super fine and so well integrated yet this maintains a grip and hold from the very beginning through to a long and sustained finish. Nuanced and complex, still packing a punch in terms of power, but this feels sophisticated, suave, purposeful and controlled. Not elegant, this is more of a caged animal with it's full potential yet to be unveiled, but it is classy. A truly delicious wine with so much purity and sense of place. Malolactic fermentation in 100% new barroques, with each batch kept separate for the first 12 months of ageing before being blended and returned to barriques for another year, totalling 24 months. The wine was then aged for a further 12 months in bottle before being released. Winemaker Gaia Cinnirella. - Georgina Hindle.

99 100James SucklingIntense aromas of ripe herbs, plums, green coffee beans, and hazelnuts. Turns to crushed berries and orange peel. Full-bodied with superb concentration and fine, velvety tannins that run the length of the wine. It's big but agile and gorgeous. Merlot. What a wine! Best after 2030.

96 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe 2020 Masseto now sees new DNA with a touch of Cabernet Franc added to this celebrated Merlot-based icon wine. This is a vintage of enormous richness and density, and everything about the wine is taken up a notch or two (including the bottle glass weight and the 15% alcohol content). But Axel Heinz and his team are well prepared for the hot vintages like 2020, and changes to farming and canopy management ensure even ripening. This wine is always hard to analyze in its youth. It needs many more years to soften and flesh out. Give it time. - Monica Larner.

Open hereD'un rouge foncé très concentré, aux reflets presque noirs.
Belle concentration des nuances aromatiques, vives et persistantes.
Puissant, aux saveurs balsamiques et doté de tanins bien intégrés qui confirment l'excellent potentiel de garde de ce cru exceptionnel. Finale d’une superbe longueur.
Bruschette, tartare aux truffes d’été, risotto aux bolets, pâtes au ragoût de gibier, filet de cerf, entrecôte de marcassin, fondant au chocolat noir. Également un vin de méditation.
Température de service : 16 - 18 °C
La mer fait partie intégrante de ce magnifique vignoble. La lumière qui s'y reflète alimente la vigne et en adoucit les tanins, qui tendent vers un équilibre nuancé, voluptueux et subtil. Les douces brises, chargées d’humidité, tempèrent le processus de maturation en prolongeant l’évolution harmonieuse d’une acidité tonique. Les racines des vignes se fraient un chemin dans les couches d’argile bleue, conférant ainsi une belle minéralité aux vins.
La philosophie de Masseto consiste davantage à accompagner le processus de vinification plutôt qu'à le forcer. Vendanges manuelles, éraflage et léger pressurage, transfert en cuves en béton par gravité, vinification parcellaire, fermentation alcoolique spontanée d’environ 21 à 28 jours avec des levures indigènes, 2 à 3 remontages par jour et délestages au besoin. Fermentation malolactique en barriques neuves, assemblage après 12 mois d’élevage, élevage supplémentaire d’une année en barriques, puis repos de 12 mois en bouteilles avant sa commercialisation.
