ocb
Bottle (6)
A rare continuation of The Pinnacle Collection, this offering presents a further selection from one of the most celebrated single-owner cellars to come to market. Assembled over decades by an industry insider with exceptional access to many of the world's top estates, the wines were acquired upon release and maintained in professional storage throughout their lives. Featuring many of the most sought-after names in fine wine, this release reflects the same unwavering commitment to provenance, condition, and quality that defined the original collection. A compelling opportunity to acquire impeccably sourced wines from a cellar built with knowledge, access, and intent.
"Made with Merlot, the 2020 Messorio is a profound and richly textured wine that has become one of vintner Cinza Merli's flagships. Ripe fruit, dark cherry, oak spice and toast converge with balanced intensity to characterize this generous expression from Tuscany. The issue with Merlot, especially in a hot vintage such as this, is ripeness or, specifically, over-ripeness. Messorio navigates a challenging growing season with flying colors." (96 pts. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, May 2023)
"Intense aromas of sandalwood, lavender, crushed stone, ink pot and blue fruit follow through to a medium body, with lovely tannins and tension that add energy and vibe. Excellent freshness for 2020. Blackcurrants, black olives and violets in the aftertaste. Drink after 2027." (96 pts. James Suckling, Sept. 2023)
"The 2020 Messorio is fabulous. Once an opulent, full-throttle wine, Messorio has grown into a much more reserved Merlot these days. Tense with tons of energy, the 2020 appears to have a very bright future once it comes together a bit more fully. I very much admire the vibrancy here. The 2020 spent 18 months in 100% French oak, with 5% of the wine aged in amphora." (97 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug. 2023)
