"Color: dark; Nose: complex; Acidity: lively; Body: full-bodied; Finish: persistent; Overall: elegant; Great nose of plum and oak or earth or musk. Full coating on the palate, silky, and great flavors of plum, racing black cherry zing and well balanced with an incredibly lively finish. "

"The 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo is beautiful in this vintage. It shows gorgeous mid-palate depth and pliancy, with wonderful richness in its sweet dark fruit, smoke, licorice and grilled herbs. The 10% Cabernet Sauvignon works particularly well in this vintage, as it seems to give the wine a measure of depth and delineation that is less obvious in the Flaccianello. Higher toned floral notes add lift on the finish. The Vigna del Sorbo is a touch restrained in 2008, as are most wines, yet it shows fabulous balance and tons of personality."
