Sophisticated and vibrant with chewy succulence and firm tannins, the top wine of this up and coming Bolgheri estate boasts plush concentration, a nice linear quality and generous aromas of black currant, cedar, licorice, green herb and toasted nuts. There’s good complexity and personality here due to the wine’s many aromatic nuances and deep layers of fruit. Drink after 2012.——M.L.(4/1/2008)—— 91
