The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata shows characteristic varietal greenness with crushed peppercorn and medicinal herb. Ethereal tones of tar, smoke and tobacco fill in the rear. The wine is tightly built and shows the natural structure necessary to withstand more cellar aging. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028.
