“The 2013 Poggio ai Merli is a beautiful wine from all sides. This pure expression of Merlot is generous and round with luscious layers that come forward one soft wave at a time. Perfectly ripened cherry, blackberry, spice, toasted almond and grilled Mediterranean herb form a seamless composition. This is one of the best editions of Poggio ai Merli that I have tasted. The intensity is stunning and the velvety nature of the mouthfeel is impeccable. It is textured, structured and beautiful. This is a bottle for the cellar.”

“A full-bodied red with dark chocolate, dried fruit and hints of vanilla. Soft and velvety. Lots of bright and beautiful fruit. Impressively structured. A glorious pure merlot.”
