Buri Merlot 2009 Miani

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (97)

The 2009 Merlot Buri, from old vines in Buttrio, is all minerals, graphite, plums, wild cherries and grilled herbs. The intense, towering Buri is simply one of the greatest wines of the world and the 2009 is shaping up to be spectacular. This is an incredible showing for the Buri. Wow.

Crème de cassis, graphite, smoke, new leather, spice and blackberry jam are some of the many notes that develop in the 2013 Merlot Buri. Rich, dark, and creamy on the palate, the 2013 exudes depth. Even so, the young 2013 is far less tannic and concentrated than in the past. Tasted next to the Filip, the Buri is darker and quite bit bigger. Even so, there is more finesse in the 2013 than I have seen in the past, when the Buri has been much more tannic and overtly powerful.
