Masseto 1997 750mL (Slightly Scuffed Label)

1997 Masseto - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2004: Inky color still, with a jammy and smoky nose showing licorice and vanilla aromas. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and velvety tannins, it still seems structured, closed and tight. Needs many more years in the bottle. Even better than I originally thought. This is fantastic and shows all the power and class you expect.--Masseto non-blind vertical. Best after 2006. 2,500 cases made.
