2 bottles 2016 Masseto
$895 each
100 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate “A thunderstorm of emotions, but it manages to keep them under perfect control. Like the 2015 Masseto before it, this vintage is a seamless wine of the highest pedigree. There is no overstating the sheer power and richness of this iconic vintage of Italy's groundbreaking Merlot. Despite that considerable mass, this Masseto remains delicate and graceful. You gain better perspective as the wine opens in the glass and reveals deeper layers that were not immediately apparent on first nose: dark fruit, spice, sweet tobacco and black cherry.”

| | 3pack 2018 Masseto Massetino
$975 3pack
original wood case
The Second Wine of Masseto, sharing the same pedigree as its older sibling
Harvested under ideal conditions, the vintage 2018 is characterized by its particularly harmonious and balanced. Massetino shows a dark, purple-tinged ruby color. The nose is very expressive, dominated by vibrant and ripe cherry fruit, spicy and balsamic overtones and a touch of toasty oak. The palate is elegant, with a seamless and silky texture, polished tannins that support a bright and pure expression of fruit. The finish shows hints of vanilla that lead into a minerally sensation of freshness.

2017 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore
$1320 6pack
97 points Vinous “A stunning wine, the 2017 Ornellaia offers a captivating interplay of richness and energy. Picking early was the key. Young vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc were harvested in August for the first time ever. In the glass, the 2017 offers up an enticing mélange of mocha, cedar, tobacco and licorice, with soft curves that add to its sensuality and allure. The 2017 is sumptuous and racy, as Ornellaias from warmer years tend to be, but it is not at all heavy or overdone. In a word: superb!” — Antonio Galloni
