Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 96:

The 2020 Masseto now sees new DNA with a touch of Cabernet Franc added to this celebrated Merlot-based icon wine. This is a vintage of enormous richness and density, and everything about the wine is taken up a notch or two (including the bottle glass weight and the 15% alcohol content). But Axel Heinz and his team are well prepared for the hot vintages like 2020, and changes to farming and canopy management ensure even ripening. This wine is always hard to analyze in its youth. It needs many more years to soften and flesh out. Give it time.

The lemon brings some freshness well-balanced with the sweetness of buck-wheat honey. Its delicacy and its sweet taste will seduce a large public, espacially those who do not like strong alcohols.

A dry handcrafted gin using the freshest botanicals from the pristine Nilgiris (Blue) mountains in the western ghats of India at 7000 ft above sea level.
