2003 Ruffino Fonte Al Sole Toscana
Merlot & Sangiovese Blend
Score: 50
I strongly dislike Merlot and this is a blend with strong overtones of the sweet almost sickly smell often found with that grape. If you like Merlot, this could be a good wine to branch into the more complex Italians from, as it is not nearly as complex as a good Super Tuscan, but drinkable. ‘barely’. Must have with food to help offset some of the more ill begotten aspects, but not too bad for a cheap wine. I will not purchase again.
