The 2007 Gabbro (Cabernet Sauvignon) is flat-out great. Layers of dark fruit, smoke, cured meat, cassis and grilled herbs come to life as this powerful, muscular wine gradually reveals the depth of its pedigree and sheer class. Despite its size, the 2007 Gabbro possesses exquisite complexity and a long, nuanced finish. Scents of tar, licorice and smoke provide the final exclamation points on what is truly a memorable wine.

Review Date: 10/2010
Exhibits currant and blueberry character on the nose and palate, with hints of vanilla. Full and juicy, with lots of fruit and silky tannins, followed by an intensely flavorful finish. New wood is showing a little too much now, but should mellow with age. Best after 2012.

Notes

A monumental, fully mature Super Tuscan, the 2007 Montepeloso “Gabbro” is a stunning expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from a famously powerful and generous vintage. After 18 years of evolution, this flagship wine has transformed into a state of profound complexity and polish. The nose is deep, hedonistic, and wonderfully evolved, with aromas of blackcurrant liqueur, baked plum, and dark chocolate, layered with sophisticated notes of cedar, leather, and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and seamless, with the once-massive tannins fully resolved into a rich, velvety texture. The finish is exceptionally long and resonant, echoing with notes of licorice and spice. A powerful icon at its absolute peak.
