The Kallisti Collection: This powerhouse consignment hails from a legendary NYC industry insider. This is a deeply pedigreed cellar with many bottles bought on release and stored since in a temperature-controlled Tribeca wine cellar. A top-tier offering with impeccable provenance.
"The 2009 Masseto bursts from the glass with dark red berries, blackberries, flowers, licorice and tar. It shows lovely up-front juiciness and expressive inner perfume in a surprisingly accessible style for this wine. Like the Ornellaia, the 2009 Masseto has quite a bit of freshness, although it, too, is medium-bodied in structure. In this vintage the Ornellaia team was especially selective and only used part of the three vineyards that typically go into Masseto. I have been fortunate to taste every vintage of Masseto, most more than once recently. Masseto has a great track record for aging, even in the smallest, least promising of vintages." (94+ pts. Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #201, June 2012)
"The thread of potent, warm-vintage Massetos continues with the 2009. Dense, opulent and unctuous to is core, the 2009 is a decidedly flamboyant wine with huge fruit density and equally big tannins. Black plum, bittersweet chocolate, menthol and dark spices all build with time in the glass. The 2009 is not at all subtle, but it is pretty delicious. Warm, dry weather, with narrow diurnal shifts, resulted in a harvest that took place over 8 days, from September 2 to 10." (94+ pts. Vinous, Jan. 2018)
