Giuseppe Quintarelli Rosso Ca' del Merlo 2004

The 2004 Ca' del Merlo is slightly less generous than the expressive 2003. Make no mistake: Quintarelli's trademark elegance is on full display. This vintage delivers more in the mouth with a fuller, more generous mouthfeel and more firmness on the finish. Crushed mineral and forest berry is backed by a beautiful touch of acidity and integrated cherry. Drink 2014-2022. Score - 92. (Monica Larner, erobertparker.com, Oct. 2013)
