Trefiano Carmignano Riserva 2008

Subtle smoky notes add allure to the robust and energetic 2008. Youthfully vigorous, it is easy to savour now because the well-integrated, fine tannins give it a silky texture. Hints of both red and black fruits combine with mineral nuances in this bold beauty. Harmonious, lip-smacking acidity amplifies the finish and keeps you coming back for another sip. Drinking window: 2024-2040. Score – 96. (Michael Apstein, decanter.com, May 24, 2024)
