The 2007 Torrette Vigne Les Toules is a dark, earthy wine loaded with fruit made in a relatively big, muscular style. The wine shows elements of wildness that recall the Pinots of Gevrey, yet there is plenty of density, length and texture to be found, just a touch of elegance in the aromas and flavors seems missing. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2017. From top to bottom this is a superb set of wines from Les Cretes that form essential drinking for readers who want to learn more about the wines of Valle d’Aosta.
