The 2009 Nambrot is striking. Today it comes across as impossibly young and dense. The bouquet still needs time to develop, but it is impossible to miss the depth and finesse of the fruit. Firm yet well balanced tannins support a gorgeous, inviting finish laced with blackberries, tar, smoke, licorice and violets. I can't wait to taste this in a few years. Nambrot is 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Petit Verdot aged in French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. ,These are the most impressive wines I have ever tasted from Tenuta di Ghizzano. The wines are made in a fairly non-interventionalist style, starting with organically farmed grapes. For the top wines, the grapes are crushed by foot and fermentations are done in open-top wood and cement vats, using only indigenous yeasts. Score - 94+.
