"This is a crazy wine with beautiful and pure kiwi and lychee fruit. Some lemon curd. It’s full-bodied and fruity but reserved. Savory at the end with just a hint of salt to the fruit. Drink now." 93, James Suckling

"The intensity of the aromas is mind-blowing, with pencil shavings, graphite, ink and blackcurrants. Medium-bodied with tightness and focus. Very refined yet forceful. It shows energy, a polished yet intense texture and flavors of dark fruit. From mountain vineyards at 500 meters with granite subsoil. Give it four or five years." 99, James Suckling

"This is really rich and flavorful with meat, game, berries and some cloves. Full body, tight center palate with a long and flavorful finish. Shows depth and focus." 95-96, James Suckling

"Crushed stone, black pepper, smoke and spices. Chocolate, too. Medium to full body,round tannins and a long, juicy finish. Creamy and round-textured. Spicy at the end. Stems and whole bunches for about one third of the grapes. About one half made in amphora and half in 500-liter used barrels. Drink or hold." 96, James Suckling

Even though this is 17 years old, the colour is still an amazingly deep garnet even if the rim is now transparent. Oo, that is rather lovely! Lots of evolution and subtlety, with a hint of quite attractive dustiness, on the nose. It does taste very much more like mature Cabernet (even Bordeaux) than anything informed by Sangiovese. Dry (but...

The 2015 Palafreno is one of the more understated Tuscan Merlots readers will come across. This site, in the Ruffoli district of Greve, at 400 meters above sea level, yields a distinctly savory, nuanced Merlot that emphasizes energy and nuance over power, all of which make it a truly special and distinctive wine.94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
