Borgo del Tiglio's 2013 Collio Rosso Riserva (green label) opens to a delicately aged profile with crushed stone, spice and a touch of smoky caramel. This Merlot-based wine shows some hickory spice and dark baker's chocolate, with wild berry and tart cassis packed tight at the core. Previous releases had some Cabernet Sauvignon in a supporting role, but this edition puts the focus on Merlot. A nice match for beef Wellington, it is compact and firm, with a very linear and pure presentation that underlines the quality of the cool, fresh vintage. The wine is gracefully mid-weight in character with a long, polished finish. Even with eight years of age under its belt, this wine should continue its fascinating bottle evolution. About 1,200 bottles were released.
