Le Macchiole Messorio Toscana Merlot 2001

$215

...The fruit is breathtaking in its beauty... The finish is exceptionally polished, nuanced and silky. The 2001 is tough to resist today, but it will be even better in a few years' time. eRobertParker.com (Antonio Galloni)

This was very tight & not showing much when 1st opened yesterday. I poured it back in the btl and served it tonight. Much more open showing dark cherry & plum with earth, tobacco, elegant & floral with polished tannins that still needs more time before reaching maturity.

Might be on the downward slope. 2nd bottle was better but first bottle was a little flat

2001 Le Macchiole Messorio Merlot. Compared this wine to the '01 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello Sangiovese at the lunch which Ash prepared at the house. By a small margin, this wine was our fave of the two. Sweet fruit on the nose, but balanced, and a nice mouthfeel with a pleasant amount of tannins. We really enjoyed how balanced and delicious this wine was.

Group's favorite, my least favorite. Sometimes I feel out of touch with the mainstream.
