Winery Notes: 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit VerdotThis deep garnet-red wine has aromas and flavors of fresh, tart red berries, with notes of herb and tobacco. Powerful and full-bodied on the palate, this has elegant tannins and a long finish.The 2009 Bolgheri Superiore Baia al Vento is 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Freshly cut flowers, espresso, dark cherries, mocha and licorice are some of the many notes that are woven together in this expressive, layered red from the Tuscan coast. The 2009 impresses for its intensity and long, polished finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. 91 points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateAromas of sweet tobacco and prunes with hints of coffee. Full body, with soft tannins and a chocolate, coffee and berry aftertaste. This is delicious now but will improve with three to four years of bottle age.Publish Date: Thursday, August 9, 201293 points from James Suckling
