The 2004 Merlot Girolamo fully captures the pedigree of this superb Tuscan vintage. Graphite, grilled herbs, minerals, violets and dark fruit are just some of the nuances that flow from this soft, harmonious wine. Once again, the balance is simply impeccable. Despite the wine's generous fruit, there is plenty of structure underneath, but the finessed, silky nature of the tannins makes the wine very approachable even in this infant stage.
