The 2008 Collio Rosso Riserva degli Orzoni is an austere and muscular blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in oak for two years. Other vintages of this wine have tasted more youthful and energetic to me upon release. The 2008 edition is slightly more evolved and mature in comparison. Black cherry, plum and baking spice color the finish. Drink: 2014-2019.
