Big and intense, this wine is not as elegant and precise as the excellent 2007 Riserva from this producer. But it's still good.Dark black ruby color. Low-toned nose of ripe cherry and plummy fruit, some slightly scorchy minerality, and underbrush. Dark and brooding in the mouth, with scorched earth driving the car and dark cherries in the back seat. Acidity is pretty good for such a full-bodied wine, but it seems a bit unintegrated. A bit bitter in the finish. Not elegant, but doesn't skimp on bruising flavor and intensity. B. Was $19 from WTSO.com. Imported by Superior Wines, Cranford, NJ.
