Il Palagio Sacred Love 2020

Description

This is a new merlot from Trudie and Sting that shows impressive aromas of violets [and] blackberries … Then it goes to slate and dark earth. It changes and seduces with every whiff. Full-bodied yet very poised and tight with polished and caressing tannins. Finishes long and delicious. Fantastic first release. So attractive, ready to drink but better in three or four years. [Drink till 2040.] Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 1, 2022)
