A consignor from Ontario who has a well rounded collection of old and new world wine. He purchased his bottles from various outlets and has always stored in a temperature controlled environment.
The tasting note for 2001 Masseto Toscana is from Robert Parker and the score is 98 - The massive 2001 Masseto forms with Le Macchiole’s Messorio and Tua Rita’s Redigaffi a trio of world class Merlots in a ten square mile area where the variety virtually did not exist 15 years ago. The volume, richness, and sumptuousness are almost beyond description, as are the length and density of the flow and finish, but there is an underlying vein of purity and freshness which help maintain an impeccable balance.
