The 2008 Lagrein Riserva Porphyr is very pretty in this vintage. Bacon fat, crushed rocks, blackberries and licorice all come alive in the glass. There is a tension in the 2008 that is palpable. At the same time, most of the wilder notes typical of Lagrein have been tamed. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. These new releases from Cantina di Terlano are impressive. As much as I admire the top wines, I simply adore the entry-level bottlings for their unbeatable combination of quality, value and regional/varietal typicity.Importer: Banville & Jones Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel.
