This full-bodied, energetic red from Panzano combines warm richness with
balance and length that makes it widely popular year after year. Winemaker Stephane
Derenoncourt, one of Bordeaux's most renowned winemakers, crafts the wine
with Bordeaux influences including aging in French oak, 20% new, to produce a
luscious mouth-feel. This wine is one of the best values in the market place.
Notes
of blueberries, blackberries, porcini and nutmeg. It’s full-bodied with fine
tannins. Balanced with a fleshy texture. Round and velvety. Long, flavorful
finish. Fine and fresh at the end. Drink or hold. Suckling
The Fattoria la Massa 2018 La Massa is a textured
and softly pliable wine that shows gorgeous color saturation and a panoramic
bouquet with black fruit, dried cherry, plum, spice and sweet tobacco. This
vintage offered moments of heat and moments of coolness, and the whole approach
is balanced quite nicely in this bottle. I give it a solid 10-year drinking
window, and you get great value. Parker’s WA
