Drink 2019-2034, FINE+RARE Tasting Note

Gorgeous on the nose with blackcurrant, damson and plum giving way to spice, dried herbs and tobacco. Bright acidity frames tannins that are classic 2010; firm yet yielding and melt-away on the long finish. Superb concentration and exceptional structure, this is an elegant, finessed Merlot that has everything in perfect harmony and will age magnificently. Jul 2017. FINE+RARE, Drink: 2019-2034+

Score 92/100 · James Suckling, Nov 2016

Loads of black olive and blackberry character with hints of chili. Medium to full body, fresh herb and berry flavors. Slightly angular tannins and a flavorful finish. Just opening to be ready to drink now. An outstanding merlot from one of the great producers of Barolo. Drink or hold.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2016-2030, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2014

Voerzio's 2010 Merlot graces the palate with sage, menthol, licorice, tobacco, spices, graphite and plums. In this vintage, the Merlot is delicate, aromatic and impeccably nuanced from start to finish, with less of the structure of Barolos but all of the class.
