Score 93/100 · Drink 2015-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2011

The 2008 Gabbro (Cabernet Sauvignon) is the only wine among these 2008s that isn't up to its usual level. It is a classy, polished wine laced with dark fruit, grilled herbs and tobacco, but comes across as a touch diluted relative to other recent vintages.

The 2008 Gabbro (Cabernet Sauvignon) is the only wine among these 2008s that isn’t up to its usual level. It is a classy, polished wine laced with dark fruit, grilled herbs and tobacco, but comes across as a touch diluted relative to other recent vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. Fabio Chiarellotto has done a fabulous job with his 2008s. The Eneo in particular remains one of the best –priced wines from Tuscany’s Maremma. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel.
