There's really appetising underlying structure here

dried herbs and earthy layers

and fabulous balance as well as surprising sweetness counter-balanced by good structure and acidity

Querciabella, Palafreno Vintage:2020 savory and explosiveA more saturated red purple color, the 2020 Palafreno is all Merlot and reveals a very pretty bouquet of violets, fresh plums, and black raspberries. It offers a lot of fresh lift on the palate, which is full bodied though not heavy, with sweet tannins and a nice poppy lift throughout, while retaining wonderfully balanced ripeness and very nice notes of fresh earth on the finish.
