Villa Arceno Merlot 1999
Tuscany, ItalyPleasant plum and cherry jam aromas mixed with vanilla, spicy, peppery earth notes. Round, soft, elegant and balanced it has fine cherry and plum jam flavours streak with pepper and licorice. Still has some tight tannins on the finish but the fruit is ample. Needs another year or two in bottle. It's 100 per cent merlot.Tasted: 18 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $43.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Rennaisance |
