Guado al Tasso San Walfredo 100% Merlot. 2019. Deep, dark ruby coloration. Just opened, On the nose, dark cherry, currants, Florals, oak, and leather with a Touch of vanilla. On the palate, cherry, vanilla, and oak, full bodied and robust. Strong tannins. Will resist after some decanting. Red berry and floral fragrance more prevalent after a little more time decanting. Revisiting again after significant decanting: abundant black cherry, oak and vanilla and on the nose. On the palate, rather jammy fruit, black cherry and berry. A long finish of black cherry, anise, oak and vanilla. Bold, lush and strong tannins. Very, Very long finish. Complex and layered. — 5 months ago

Surprisingly Italian (I would have sworn it was Northern Californian). Much more complex, some blackberry and firm oak tannins. Very nice — a year ago

Azienda Agricola Poggio al Grillo Guado delle Casaline Bolgheri Rosso 2023, Tuscany, Italy

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.

Purple in color with a purplish rim.

Very aromatic nose of blue fruits and sweet cherries.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, light earth, herbs and spices.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This is a very tasty Merlot. A very unique wine from Bolgheri, Italy. Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Nice to see such low alcohol from this region.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Sangiovese.
Aged in ceramic vats for 8 months.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$45. — 7 months ago
