A great merlot from Tuscany: Máté Mantus 2002

 

Are you a fan of big Tuscan merlot? This is just beautiful.

Developed but still going strong. Ripe and concentrated with graphite and licorice notes and just a hint of mint and herbs. It has that great depth that you will find new layers every time you smell it. Mellowed and smooth at this point yet still dense and powerful. Top shelf concentration and lovely
 Mediterranean, warm character. It’s special and so complex, offers a lot of enjoyment. 93 points, drink now-2028.
