Much Tuscan Merlot is overblown, but the clay parcels among the Petrolo vineyards are ideal for this variety, and Galatrona rightly enjoys a legendary reputation in this category. Initially sumptuous on the nose, with its black-cherry aromas, this also has a spicy, savoury dimension, and a dash of vanilla from the oak. Concentrated and voluptuous, it's lifted by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity, and given added complexity with its nuances of liquorice and mocha. Fine length.
