A Toronto based consignor and storage client at Iron Gate who began collecting wine in 2007. Purchased through the LCBO, SAQ, and on trips to Europe, the bottles have all been meticulously cellared in temperature and humidity-controlled environments.
The wine in this lot has a score of 90 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The 2002 Masseto is a strong effort, made all the more notable given the poor overall quality of the vintage. It presents an herbal profile on the nose along with notes of tobacco, black pepper and white truffle that emerge with some time in the glass. On the palate it is a decidedly slender Masseto, with less concentration than is typical of this wine, but the fruit is vibrant and fresh, the oak well-integrated, and it offers much persistence as well as length in a more linear expression of this wine. While the 2002 will never compete with the best Massetos, on an absolute level it is a lovely wine that clearly has the potential to offer some surprises down the road.
