Palafreno Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend

Actually, is 100% Merlot and is fabulous. One of best I've had and would not have readily thought it would be from Tuscany for this varietal. (2,000 bottles made)

2008 in 2017. Says Tuscan blend but is 100% merlot. Stunning! The fruit explodes from the glass.

Hints of cocoa powder, rich stewed red fruit, lavender in a mountain valley, changes constantly, so evocative.
Generous fruit and a small front of tannin, a razor like profile with a burst of brightness at the end. Finishes long, a gentle persistent grip. Drop dead gorgeous.

Querciabella's answer to Masseto. An inspiring Merlot. Age worthy and worth seeking out

Great wine for food. Love it

Musty. I enjoyed it. But I think it had more age than I expected

What a wine. 100 percent Merlot. I had the 2006 in 2021. it can still be stored for years. Just fantastic.

Enjoyed in Hotel San Lino, Volterra in Pisa

Liz's 34th bday at La Ciccia

Very mature, may be in decline, but still delicious. Dry prunes, sticky dates, toasted oak, smoke and spices. Full bodied, tobacco finish and good nervous acidity.
