Beschreibung
Antonio Galloni | The radiance of the year comes through beautifully in Castellare’s 2015 Merlot Poggio ai Merli. Soft and supple, with no hard edges, the Poggio ai Merli is pure seduction. Layers of red/purplish fruit and spice are nicely pushed forward in this fleshy, succulent wine. Naturally, the 2015 needs time in bottle to lose some of its primary fruitiness and develop more complexity. All of the necessary ingredients appear present for that to happen over the coming years. 92P Antonio Galloni |
Robert Parker | Tuscany and Merlot make for beautifully matched bedfellows—especially in a reasonably balanced vintage like this. The 2015 Poggio ai Merli reveals a thickly darkened and saturated appearance with inky and blackish purple highlights. The bouquet is surprisingly delicate and perfumed with dark rose, spice, dried cherry and blackberry. In the mouth, this wine is exceedingly soft and luscious. The tannins are soft but the wine offers thick textural layering nonetheless. A mere 3,500 bottles were produced. 94P |
James Suckling | A fresh and fruity wine with dark chocolate and hints of walnut. Medium to full body, bright fruit and a crisp finish. An extremely bright and focused young red. Better in 2019. 92P |
