Vinous (96)The 1994 Messorio is an unbelievable wine with which to begin this tasting. The aromatics alone are profound. Espresso, mocha, grilled herbs, menthol sweet tobacco and spices are just some of the nuances that waft from the glass in this sublime, totally spellbinding wine. The 1994 is at an intersection where a classic sense of structure meets Maremma warmth, yielding a wine of extraordinary class. The oak is beautifully integrated, and everything about this wine is first-rate. In 1994 Le Macchiole produced just two barrels of Messorio. Odds are I will never get to taste the 1994 again, but I will always remember the time I spent with this bottle. The 1994 is simply unforgettable and an unreal achievement for a wine in its first vintage. Readers fortunate enough to still own bottles are in for a treat. |

Vinous (95)The 1999 Paleo Rosso is beautifully fresh and vibrant to the core. Freshly cut flowers, licorice, plums, tobacco and spices all jump from the glass. Refined, silky tannins from the long growing season support the bracing finish. The 1999 is a wine built on precision. Even after all these years, there is plenty of finesse. This is the first vintage that includes a significant amount of Cabernet Franc, foreshadowing what Paleo will become just two years later. |

An exquisite bottle expressing the apex of Italian viticulture, the Le Macchiole Scrio 1994 is a commanding embodiment of Tuscan wine-making prowess. Crafted in the famous vineyards of Bolgheri, renowned for its fertile soils and remarkable microclimate, this wine is a pure expression of Syrah, a grape varietal traditionally linked with French Rhône Valley, yet beautifully adapted here. Le Macchiole, the producer, implements stringent selection and low yields to retain quality and concentration. Fermented in steel and aged for 18 months in French oak, the Scrio 1994 offers a rich tapestry of blackberry, liquorice, and finely toasted spices, underpinned by an earthy minerality and characteristic Tuscan meatiness. With velvety tannins and a long, alluring finish, it's a monumental red promising a sensory voyage. Appealing to discerning collectors and Syrah lovers, the Le Macchiole Scrio 1994 is a testament to the transformative prowess of Tuscan wine-making in the hands of a devoted producer. |
