Merlot di Toscana IGT Giuliano Tiberi "I Merli” 2006 (Super Tuscan)
Tasting Notes: Intense purplish-red colour. Complex and persistent aroma, variegated and elegant. Notes of ripe black fruits emerge, well combined with vanilla and cocoa from the barrique. On the palate: great structure and elegance; robust tannins; very long finish. Spec sheet (PDF)
Accolades: 92/100, Wine Spectator: "There's lots of plum skin, black cherry and chocolate on the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied, with clean flavors coating the refined tannins and giving a long finish. A super, nervy Merlot that's fun to drink even now. Best after '09. 250 cases made."
--James Suckling, October 2008.
Grape Variety: 100% Merlot
Why the name I MERLI (Blackbirds)? "Because these birds nest on the estate and they often fly low to the ground among the rows of vines ... Because "blackbirds" in Italian (i merli) sounds like the word "merlot" ... Because the wine resembles the beautiful shiny, black, silky feathers of the blackbirds ... On the label, designed by the viticulturist's wife, the blue is the sky where the blackbirds fly, and they have crowns on their heads because this is a regal wine." --translated from the Giuliano Tiberi website.
