2021 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia - Bolgheri Masseto Super Tuscan (750ml)
100 Points
"The 2021 Masseto is a stunner. It also shows how much the estate has

evolved in recent years. I was reminded of that recently when I drank the

2001, considered by many observers, including this one, to be one of the

greatest wines ever made here. The 2021 represents a move towards a

more refined style. There’s less of the bombastic intensity and extraction

that were once the norm here. I remember young vintages that were

impossible to taste young. The 2021, on the other hand, is an absolute

delight. Crushed flowers, spice, blood orange and bright, red-toned fruit all

grace the palate. Floral aromatics and saline underpinnings are at times

reminiscent of the Cabernet Franc found in the 2019 and 2020, but the

2021 is back to the classic 100% Merlot. Readers will find a Masseto built

on linear energy more than volume. The 2021 is quite simply the most

exquisite, refined young Masseto I have ever tasted. Aging was 24 months

in 100% new French oak."
