San Felice Vigorello 2010

Made for the first time in 1968 at the start of the super-Tuscan movement, the 2010 Vigorello is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a smaller component of Petit Verdot. It's a beautiful and extremely elegant wine that bursts from the glass with pristine tones of black fruit, licorice, rose and dried lavender, Mediterranean herb and a sweet hint of vanilla. The balance and complexity are outstanding and both point to the high levels achieved in 2010. It will develop more complexity in time. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. Score - 92.
