2008 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto (Tuscany, Italy)
The 'Petrus' of Italy, the ultra-rare premium merlot based Masseto is one of the great merlot based wines of the world. Highly sought after and cellar worthy. Extremely limited availability.
Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate
Rating: 96
The 2008 Masseto comes across as relatively reserved and along the lines of vintages like 1988 that age beautifully but aren't the blockbuster type wines usually associated with Maremma. Freshly cut flowers, crushed rocks, spices and black cherries are some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from the 2008. This is an exceptionally beautiful Masseto that impresses for its elegance. The wine fleshes out nicely in the glass, while retaining its refined personality. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. 96+ points.
