Nozzole's impressive Cabernet Sauvignon-based Il Pareto performed admirably in three consecutive vintages (1988, 1989, 1990). The youthful 1988 may ultimately merit a higher score. It displays a saturated dark ruby/purple color with no signs of age. The wine's nose of explosively ripe, jammy, black fruit is complemented by a judicious use of spicy new oak barrels. Full and rich, with excellent delineation, medium to full body, and a slightly tannic finish, it should drink well for a decade. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY.
