The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione De Marchi is so exceptionally elegant and refined I have a hard time putting down the glass. At nearly six years of age, it remains an infant, with layers of dark red fruit that hover on a fabric of finely knit tannins. Dark raspberries, underbrush, menthol and licorice emerge gradually over time, yet this remains a very young wine in need of significant cellaring. Varietal aromas and flavors aren’t yet fully developed, and I am frankly not sure they ever will. Nevertheless, the Cabernet Sauvignon stands out for its fabulous balance and the great pleasure it affords, even at this infant stage. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Isole e Olena seems to fly under the radar, but insiders know better. Proprietor Paolo De Marchi crafts some of the most engaging wines in all of Tuscany, and Italy for that matter.
