Le Macchiole Messorio 2002
Bolgheri, Tuscany, ItalyLe Macchiole Messorio is simply one of the best merlot made in the world and would easily make my top 10 list. The fruit is bright but with a savoury earthy undercurrent, almost a la Mendoza or like a Pomerol, and that makes it fun to drink. They only make 600 cases each year but after almost two years in barrique this rich yet restrained red with supple jammy black stone frit flavours is a delight to drink. Perfect acidity makes it a candidate to age as well. This is the merlot the film Sideways never new existed.Tasted: 22 February 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $159.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Liquid Art |
