Note di degustazione
A wonderfully toned merlot with aromas of crushed flowers and ripe berries that follow through to a full body, very fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Will continue to improve with age but why wait?

The 2001 Galatrona is an unusual wine that was born in a warm vintage. There are ripe fruit nuances, yet they are never too pronounced. Instead, the wine expresses its sweet and sunny side thanks to curious aromas of candied fruit, apricot and plum cake. That fruity intensity is soft and luscious. This Tuscan Merlot offers a heavier feel in the mouth with velvety richness and some subtle granularity in terms of its texture. There is an overt level of dark fruit sweetness that stops shy of feeling cloying or syrupy.
