Rocca di Frassinello 2010 Baffonero Merlot (Maremma Toscana)
- Cellar Selection
- $120
The folks at Rocca di Frassinello set out to make one of the greatest expressions of Merlot from coastal Tuscany. This shows enormous intensity and persistency on the palate, and the overall experience is driven forward by bold flavors of black fruit, cherry, black olive, chocolate and cinnamon. It has a rich, masculine structure, so drink it after 2018.
