The 2007 Soffocone di Vincigliata is a darker, weightier wine. Black cherries, toasted oak and sweet spices are woven into a pretty, mid-weight frame. The intensity of the fruit follows through nicely to the polished close. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013.
I continue to be impressed with the beautiful wines of Bibi Graetz. These are highly singular, expressive wines that merit serious consideration.
