The 1997 Borgo D'Altesi (100% Cabernet Sauvignon, just under 1,000 cases produced, aged in French barrels) is California-like with its thick, jammy, black currant fruit, low acidity, opulent texture, and succulent, fat, round finish. Given its up-front appeal, it should be consumed over the next decade. One of my favorite Tuscan estates, Altesino's wines are consistently among the finest of the region.
