Let breathe for 1 hour and decanted and it was not quite enough. the nose was amazingly rich, powerful and fruit forward but the first taste still had a tannic finish. As we drank the bottle that disappeared and the finish became smooth and longer. i would let breathe for 4 hours or wait to drink. If the mouth follows the nose, this will be a 98, not a 94

From magnum. Fleshy, vibrant scarlet colour with fruit to match. This was a wine to guzzle! Huge legs and massive richness with excellent structure and balance. She's a bit of a slut but I love her!

Another Super Tuscan modern wine and another wine that I could never get excited over. No sense of place. Wine sits on the palate and never talks to you. And wow $700 - $1000 a bottle. One has to ask why? Ratings I guess. Soulless.

Masseto Vertical with wine maker team - all Masseto's ever produced (Switzerland): Tasted at Masseto complete vertical, organized by Arvi. Discrete nose, not much aroma coming through. On the palate there is quite some heat and acidity that overlays the fruit, a bit dry finish.
