Olmaia is a pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that hits all the right marks. You can taste the variety’s natural flavors but they never seem green or medicinal. Instead the wine is plush, soft, round and opulent, with ideal harmony and balance and beautiful delivery of chocolate, cherry, vanilla and herbal aromas. The wine almost exaggerates, if possible, its generosity and roundness.——M.L.(4/1/2008)—— 95
