The 1990 Masseto comes across as quite ripe and almost exotic, very much in the style of the year. This is a decidedly opulent, full-bodied vintage. Tar, smoke and licorice wrap around the huge finish. My preference was for the 1988 in this first flight, but to tell the truth all of three last wines were spectacular.
This has always been a beautifully elegant wine, offering wonderful aromas and flavors of currants, berries and earth. It's medium- to full-bodied, with refined tannins
