Intense cocoa bean liquorice black chocolate plum black truffle extremely salty this is salted caramel providing relief and texture to the lush density of the fruits this was Marco Balsimelli first blend and overseeing the end of ageing arrived September 2023. 90% new barrels. Masseto is one of those terroirs (like Troplong Las Cases) where the terroir has such a strong personality that the impact of the winemaker is limited at the end of the day. Here they slightly bring harvest earlier but still naturally very rich grapes. This is an impressive wine because it is naturally powerful and you can feel rooted to the spot through the palate here but if you take a bit of time to sit with it you find the elegance and the grace. This will be a September release.

A solid and structured red with blackcurrant chocolate and walnut aromas and underlying toasted wood. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins and a chewy savory finish. Hints of coconut and toasted oak. It’s muscular and toned. It needs time to soften. Best after 2028.

This red is both well-structured and framed with new oak nuances of vanilla, toast and resin, setting the stage for plum, blackberry, fruitcake, mineral and tobacco flavors. Theres a salty element interwoven throughout, along with a fluid feel. Offers fine grip on the lingering finish, so give the dense tannins some time to integrate. Merlot. Best from 2028 through 2043. 410 cases imported.
