December 13, 2023 - Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. Also here a wine from the old days Parker playbook. Rich, sweet, extracted, polished palate. Aromatically not much going on beyond blue fruit.

July 5, 2023 - This wine popped with food from Bosa in Bend, OR. For me, Masseto can be hit or miss. It is such a food wine. You have to enjoy it with the right food, the right people. Tonight was such a night and the 2012 did not disappoint.

November 5, 2022 - Charleston Offlineorama VII; 11/2/2022-11/6/2022 (Various locations): Super young, but hinting at greatness. Plummy Merlot, but totally Italian.
