Parker about La Ricolma 2007
The 2007 La Ricolma (Merlot) flows across the palate with sensual grace as layers of perfumed red fruit melt seamlessly into silky, refined tannins. Medium in body, the wine possesses remarkable class and elegance. A final burst of sweet red berries, flowers and spices informs the breathtaking, exceptionally fine finish. Though delicious today for its soft, approachable personality, the fruit remains incredibly primary, with very little development in the aromas and flavors. A few more years in bottle should take care of things. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. San Giusto is one of the pearls of Italy. This small, family-run property is a great source for hand-made, artisan wines that reflect the best of the Tuscan vigneron spirit. Simply put, I was blown away by most of these new releases.
