The 2008 Il Borro 10 Annata comes across as rather delicate in this vintage, with attractive layers of fruit that flow effortlessly from its mid-weight frame. It shows good mid-palate fleshiness, although the wine lacks some of its customary body. Il Borro is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah that spent 12 months in French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016.
