Orizzonte 2016

92/100 Punkte Robert Parker, Feb 2020
Christian Zündel's recent edition of his most famous red, the 2016 Merlot Orizzonte is dark in flavors#spicy, deep and concentrated, with some chocolate notes. This 2016 is perhaps closest to wines such as Masseto and other Merlot icon wines. This one, however, is still floral and alpine, with delicate acidity and finesse as well as fine tannins, a persistent finish and good concentration. This is more juicy, less stony, and it is very long and with good tension. Tasted at Brancaia in Zurich in October 2019.
