Ornellaia Masseto 2022
The 2022 Masseto is a total stunner. This truly magical wine is an ethereal Super Tuscan that satisfies both the intellectual and hedonistic senses. After a swirl or two, a ‘fireworks’ display of black cherry preserves, black raspberries, and juicy black plums rocket out of the glass, followed by suggestions of star anise, lilacs, rose oil, and truffles with fresh spices. The velvet smooth texture dances across the palate with layers of emerging mineral, floral, and exotic spice nuances intertwined with concentrated black fruits, supported by super-plush tannins. Decant prior to 2029 and enjoy through 2040.
