MESSORIO Le Macchiole 2001
This was a cooler year on Coastal Tuscany and the 2001 Messorio shows the signs of a slower and more prolonged evolution. The summer months were slightly cooler than average with more evident diurnal shifts towards the end of the growing season that helped to amplify the wine’s dark fruit aromas and its beautiful sense of grace and balanced power. A deep freeze during spring months naturally reduced yields in the vineyards. The wine’s slow and steady bottle evolution has established profound depth and silky persistence. The bouquet is highly distinctive thanks to the mineral notes and a touch of delicate herb (that reminded me of green clover) that lifts so delicately from the wine’s darkened core. The tannins are smooth and beautifully polished.
MOREY SAINT DENIS 1er Cru Les Chenevery Domaine Lignier-Michelot 2019
(80% whole cluster). This too is moderately reduced and tough to evaluate today. More interesting are the super-sleek and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the youthfully austere, focused, linear and strikingly long and chiseled finish. This isn’t as dense as the Faconnières but it’s finer and should prove to be just as age worthy. Once to look for.
