  Falstaff
  "Glänzendes, sattes Rubin mit Violettschimmer. Sehr ansprechende, fast pralle Nase, satt nach reifen Brombeeren, etwas Heidelbeeren, dazu Nuancen von dunkler Schokolade, feines Zedernholz. Zupackend und stoffig am Gaumen, viel sattes, dichtmaschiges Tannin, entfaltet sich in feinen Schichten, viel reife Beerenfrucht, dazu kommen feine würzige Komponenten, salzig und mit toller Spannung versehen, ein Traumwein."

  Decanter
  "Sottobosco, tobacco and tea interlace with chocolatey dark fruits and creamy cherry. The tannins are still a bit grippy, and the acidity is fresh and succulent, lending tension which balances the generosity and softness of fruit, however the finish is just slightly drying. In contrast to 2006, 2005 was a hot year and a late vintage due to a delayed budbreak. It's drinking really well at this moment in time, and feels like it has many more years to go."

  "Leuchtendes Rubin-Granat. Die Nase beginnt mit frisch gepflückten Himbeeren und Schladerer-Aromen, Fliedertouch und Beeren in der Blüte. Tänzerischer Gaumen, filigran und verspielt, wirkt sehr feminin und schon fast zart, ein extrem junger Spass. Ein bisschen Le Pin aus der Toskana!"

  "This is a Masseto that is its own now with balance and harmony. It shows delicate chocolate and berry character with hints of hazelnut. Medium to full body. Long silky finish. Drink now."

  "It is always special to taste a winemaker’s first wines, and tasting the 2005 Masseto alongside Axel Heinz captures perfectly the emotion and purpose of what wine is all about, a living art form to be shared and bring people together. The 2005 Masseto is rich with herbaceous layers of kirsch, thyme, worn leather, and menthol. It is fleshy and full, with mocha and black truffle, and is still flush with ripe fruit that coaxes through the mid-palate, with present and firm structure. There is still enough life left in it to go at least another decade. Drink 2022-2032."
