  Tasted next to Mouton 2006, Smith Havt Lafitte 2009, Dal Forno Monte Lodoletta 2011, and Gaja Costa Russi 2011. This was the second best wine for me - a truly 'wow' wine that is so good you can't finish a conversation because every sip interrupts you. Only bested by the 2006 Mouton, which surprised me. From recent memory I would only be tempted to place 2003 La Mouline and 2005 Unico above this wine.

  Pine, minty, super silky, touch bitter coffee grounds, silky, fine tannins, cardamon, "sticks and stones", espresso. Really nice, youthful, has a ways to go. Masseto dinner at Rocco Borgese 1997-2015

  Juicy, approachable. Wouldn't say incredibly nuanced or detailed.

  Intense, black plum, long, intense. Hints of Amarone. Great wine but a little too concentrated and alcoholic for daily use.

  Decanted 2,5 hours. Young but it's worth to pop a bottle now. Really very impressive. Elegant, a lot of power but not too much and no heat. 95+ pts. at the moment.
