90 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

Good deep medium red.  Expressive, ripe nose offers plum, marzipan and leather.  Fleshy, rich and chewy, with elevated alcohol and plenty of warm plum, leather and loam flavors.  The broad finish features substantial dusty tannins.  Carlo Revello notes that the 2007s are better to drink now than the 2008s, which "have great noses but are not yet full."  Incidentally, he's very high on vintage 2009, which he describes as "classic and great, like 2001.  We picked late, and everything is in the right place."
