The 2008 Bolgheri Superiore I Castagni wraps around the palate with an exotic melange of black cherries, plums, olives, smoke, tar, incense and exotic spices. I especially like the way the fruit builds towards the muscular finish, where the wine finds an element of freshness that complements some of the more opulent, ripe tones in the fruit. I Castagni is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah and 10% Teroldego. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Importer: Banville & Jones Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel. (204) 294-4899
