Messorio 2000 Le Macchiole

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2000 Messorio shows off wonderful inner perfume in its ripe, dark cherries, grilled herbs, leather, licorice and espresso. The 2000 is just a touch more forward in its aromas and flavors than in its tannins, as it remains powerful, intense and tightly coiled. It is a big, fruit-driven wine in the style of the 1997, but with perhaps a touch more polish. The 2000 needs another two to three years before it enters the early part of its drinking window. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

rich red, with fresh herb, fruit and Indian spice. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a lovely amount of fruit, though it lacks a bit of fruit midpalate to be outstanding. Merlot.
