Note di degustazione
Hand-numbered magnum number 1,679 of 3,080 produced. Date of harvest: 25 September 2007. Very dark, impenetrable ruby. Amazingly cool nose for this warm vintage. Very tight and backward, with a hint of Morocco leather and white pepper. Beautiful supple fruit without anything heavy or over extracted. A little mouthwatering on the finish and with a potent tannic grip. Not ready yet, but difficult to resist. (WS)

The 2007 Il Caberlot is massively tannic and structured at this stage. Sweet espresso, mocha, grilled herbs and dark raspberry jam emerge from this impressively constituted Caberlot. With time in the glass the wine fills out nicely, leading to a long, impeccably articulated finish. I tasted the Caberlot from a 750ml sample bottle, but commercially the wine is only released in magnum. Magnum

The tiny production is typically snapped up by those in the know, but the wines really do merit the effort required to find them. The estate’s vineyards are planted with a clone believed to be a cross between Cabernet Franc and Merlot that combines the aromatics and structure of the former with the fruit of the latter.
