Il Borro Toscana 2004
‘Il Borro’ is a deep ruby red with dark purple reflections and has an intense bouquet of ripe fruit with notes of forest underbrush and spice. It is a dry, round and well-balanced wine with soft rich tannins that are consistent creating great length of finish. It pairs nicely with roasted meats, stews and seasonal cheeses. Wine Enthusiast This is the flagship wine of the Ferragamo family’s beautiful Il Borro property in Tuscany and it does the estate proud. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and smaller percentages of Syrah and Petit Verdot, it’s a concentrated wine with tones of earth, chocolate, exotic spice, prunes and red fruit. Consulting enologist Nicolò D’Afflitto has shaped the wine with 12 months of oak aging, adding deeper notes of spice, vanilla and clove. Score: 93. —Monica Larner, February 01, 2007.Wine Spectator Intense aromas of dark chocolate, berry and blackberry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with chewy tannins and a long finish of coffee, berry and chocolate. Solid. The best wine ever from this producer. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Best after 2008. 4,830 cases made. Score: 92. —James Suckling, October 31, 2006. Wine Advocate The Ferragamo family has owned this property, located outside Arezzo, since 1993. Winemaking is overseen by consulting oenologist Niccolo d’Afflitto. The estate’s medium-bodied 2004 Il Borro presents an elegant nose followed by fragrant notes of black cherries, licorice and sweet toasted oak. Warm and ample on the palate, its layers of flavor gradually open, revealing outstanding length, fine tannins and a refined, resonating finish. This blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah and 5% Petit Verdot spent 18 months in French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. Score: 91. —Antonio Galloni, June 2007.
