A deep ruby appearance, still a very vibrant wine with plenty of life left. Smooth and deep blackcurrant fruit, a slight cool mintiness and a slight earthiness and spice notes on a long, smooth finish. Great stuff.

Pop n pour. Great powerful and full opened nose. Ready to drink, really fresh tannins, good acidity and long finish. This 100% Cabernet Sauv is rather on the pepperoni side and this is not really my liking. Objectively all the components are there to be a great wine.

The 2008 Alghero Marchese di Villamarina is a delicious prime time 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It boasts a deep opaque purple colour and diffuses lovely aromas of black currant, cocoa powder and vanilla. Full bodied and packed with lusciously well-rounded tannin, it envelopes the palate with loads of black cherries, unctuous raspberry coulis and a subtle Indian incense backdrop. The finish is long and silky. Enjoy it over the next five years.

Dark cherries, raisins, cassis, plums. High viscosity and sweet, but with a fresh core. quite nice.
