This is a firm and tightly knit expression that is packed tight with black fruit, tobacco, tar and dark chocolate. The wine shows enormous aromatic intensity, but then it slims down just a touch in the mouth to offer an elegantly tapered finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecanter 94 Points | Compared to the older and warmer 2011, which is a bit rustic and jammy, this 2013 is a fairly classic vintage for Merlot. It was harvested in September, marking a return to the usual picking dates. The percentage of the Merlot here reaches 74% of the blend, in order to maximise its fleshy character in a relatively cool year. The nose is evolved yet with an amazing complexity of tobacco, earthy tones, clean leather and balsamic depth. On the palate cassis fruit melds with leather and spices, supported by polymerised tannins and natural refreshing acidity. - Decanter Magazine, February 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Suckling 94 Points | Very intense nose of blackberries, dark chocolate, sandalwood, vanilla, treacle and tar. Full-bodied with plenty of dark fruit, but lots of black-olive undertones and bright acidity keep this fresh, while firm tannins carve out an elegant, polished shape. Drink in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMemo Summary Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003eTenuta di Arceno \"Valadorna\" 2013\u003c\/b\u003e is a powerhouse Super Tuscan that represents the \"Right Bank\" Bordeaux style of the estate.
