2015 Messorio
This year’s Messorio has gloriously deep and fleshy Merlot juice but with such superb focus and drive. The core is well ripened and loaded with dark red fruit, twists of pepper and some lovely leafy, crunchy notes. This is seriously attractive and with great presence. It is well framed by impressive, rounded tannins that point to a good, mid-term future for this well-proportioned, pure Merlot.
'An opulent nose that shows plum cake, blueberry muffins, dark chocolate, mocha, coffee, plum liqueur and hot stones. However, there just the right amount of freshness with thyme, violets and cedar. Full body, very chewy tannins and a long, decadent finish. Very intense, but it still shows form and tension. Drink in 2025.' 95/100, James Suckling

The core is intense and loaded with firmish blackThis year’s Messorio is again very successful. Lithe and muscular but with deep and dark Merlot juice at its heart, with superb focus and drive. The core is intense and loaded with firmish black fruit-flesh and a savoury sinew. Dark and brooding for now with seasoning twists of pepper and some lovely leafy, crunchy notes. Serious stuff and with great presence. Well framed by impressive fine-grained tannins that point to a good, mid-to-long term future for this well-proportioned, pure Merlot.L&S (Mar 2019)
