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.
NUITS SAINT GEORGES 1er Cru Les Saint Georges Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair 2021
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a very harmonious and delineated bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, touches of blood orange and blue fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, well balanced with fleshy ripe fruit, focused and tensile with a beautifully composed finish that lingers on the finish. Excellent.
