This consignor became interested in wine after attending a Burgundy tasting in 2005, completely baffled by how different the wines were. They have been a casual collector ever since, sourcing most of their bottles in Alberta, along with some from the SAQ. All bottles were acquired directly from importers, and have been stored in one of their two Eurocaves.
2015 Masseto Toscana from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, Falstaff Magazine 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2015 Masseto Toscana from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. The release of this wine comes at a very happy time for the Masseto brand. The stunning 2015 Masseto is hitting the market just as the final touches are being made to the new Masseto winery. I'm told that Masseto might one day see other wines made under that same roof, so we can't exclude a future enlargement of the Masseto portfolio. The Masseto vineyard now covers seven hectares (divided into three plots), and the vines range from 30 to 40 years old. The wine is absolutely teeming with sensorial spirit that is transmitted through the bounty of the bouquet and the solid tannins of the mouthfeel. Nothing about the wine goes unnoticed or unchecked. Its many working pieces fit together with precision like a well-oiled machine. The 2015 vintage is characterized by a level of sheer exuberance that also defined the 2004 and 2007 vintages. Yet, it also reveals similar power, directness and linearity that we saw in the 2010 vintage. The 2015 Masseto takes the best of all those past vintages and confines those qualities to this single, spectacular bottle.
