Parker about Masseto 1994
The rich 1994 Masseto is a Merlot-dominated cuvee with lavish quantities of spicy new oak. In addition to the obvious pain grille notes, the Masseto exhibits less evolution than the 1995 Ornellaia. This full-bodied, spicy, rich wine cuts a broad swath on the palate. It requires another 12-18 months of bottle age, after which it should continue to improve for a decade. It will last for 15 or more years. The "other" Antinori continues to turn out stunning wines from this small estate in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast. The omnipresent Michel Rolland is the consultant, and that is evident in the rich texture, and ripe, concentrated style of this wine.

Suckling over Masseto 1994
I like this a little more than the 1993 one now. It's a little lean, illustrating the rains during the harvest in 1994, but it shows a pretty berry and blackberry character with just the right amount of tobacco. It's refined and beautifully textured with a delicious finish.
