Galatrona 2003

Petrolo (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Galatrona 2003 – IGT Toscana. 100% merlot, Estate produced and bottled. Opposite to 2002, this vintage was extremely hot and dry already from Spring. Summer heat kicked in even more Druer: 100 % Merlot (producentens årgangsark). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): aggressively and drought affected the vines. A balanced maturation was only achieved by increasingly limiting the yield per plant to 350 gr. To prevent over maturation, dried bunches and keep the right acidity we had to rush to harvest on the 20th of Høst (producentens tekst, engelsk): August. We only harvested from the early morning to midday because of the hot temperatures that prevented working in the afternoon. score 96 Fantastic aromas of black olives, meat and berries with hints of violets. Complex. Full-bodied, velvety and long. Gorgeous and powerful Merlot. Blockbuster. This could be the wine of the vintage. Best after 2008.
