Castello Dei Rampolla Merlot Liu 2021

The blue fruits and lavender with crushed stone aromas are very impressive and alluring here. Medium-bodied with fine tannins that are very polished and long. Some crushed berries. Turns to orange peel at the end. Merlot. Needs time to come together and open. Try after 2028. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, July 12, 2023)
