James Suckling 98/100: The violets and blackberries show wonderfully on the nose here, yet this remains subtle and complete with hints of walnuts. Full body, ultra-fine and firm tannins and a beautiful fruit and mineral undertone. Tight and substantial. So layered. Another example of finesse and beauty here with this pure merlot. Better in 2018.
A 100% Merlot IGT Toscana from one of the most highly regarded estates in Tuscany. This has seen French Oak for 18 months (1/3 new oak).
The 2013 Galatrona Merlot from Petrolo is a gorgeous release of one of Italy’s most consistently outstanding wines. With 98 points from James Suckling this 'example of finesse and beauty' is an unmissable buy.
The Galatrona is crafted from a small, beautifully situated vineyard where a rigorous pursuit of quality keeps yields exceptionally low while a ruthless selection process results in less than 1,250 cases (of 12) being produced for each vintage.
This care has resulted in the Galatrona being one of the most consistently high scoring wines on the market, while very reasonable prices have created a fanatically loyal following. Combine this with very low output and Galatrona, unsurprisingly, becomes a wine that is very tough to source long after release.
