The 2018 Masseto, being 100% Merlot from a renowned Tuscan estate, is expected to exhibit a profound and complex aromatic profile. Expect intense aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis, and plum, intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, cedar, tobacco leaf, and subtle vanilla from extended oak aging. On the palate, it will be full-bodied and luxurious, with a velvety texture, concentrated fruit, and well-integrated, polished tannins. The acidity will be balanced, providing freshness to its rich structure. The finish is anticipated to be exceptionally long, persistent, and nuanced, evolving with tertiary notes as it ages.
