The 2002 Messorio (100% Merlot) presents dark fruit, tar and licorice notes along with a powerful, brooding personality. While it doesn’t have the volume or expansiveness of the finest vintages, it is nevertheless an outstanding effort showing notable harmony as well as balance. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2017.
