4/9/2010 - huse wrote: 91 pointsInteresting Trentino wine (Borghetto), a Merlot-based cuvée (90 percent Merlot and 10 percent Carmenère), bordering a Bordeaux (Pomerol). The wine was aged for 14 months in barriques, followed by one more year refinement in the bottle. It shows a dark ruby-red color and a distinguished bouquet of black cherry, plum, tobacco and vanilla. The full-bodied palate mirrors the nose with lush dark fruit, sweet herbs and present but elegant tannins; alcohol and acidity are very well balanced. Long, peppery aftertaste with a little bitterness. Beautifully drinkable now.
