Masseto has a tremendous track record of aging

all framed by impeccably silky tannins

buffers the exceptionally firm though not hard or even especially rustic tannins shaping the strikingly long finish that displays the same dazzling complexity as the nose

palate-staining cassis

and this vintage does a great job of packaging it all together

Joseph Roty, Gevrey Chambertin Fonteny Vintage:2017 Masseto has a tremendous track(from 80+ year old vines). A more restrained, fresher and notably layered nose offers up notes of black cherry, plum and spice that are trimmed in subtle wood treatment. The supple, refined and attractively mineral inflected medium bodied flavors possess fine depth and persistence on the dusty, austere and backward finish that is presently quite compact. This well made effort will definitely need time to unwind.
