The 2008 Gabbro (Cabernet Sauvignon) is the only wine among these 2008s that isn’t up to its usual level. It is a classy, polished wine laced with dark fruit, grilled herbs and tobacco, but comes across as a touch diluted relative to other recent vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
Fabio Chiarellotto has done a fabulous job with his 2008s. The Eneo in particular remains one of the best –priced wines from Tuscany’s Maremma.
