Tenimenti Luigi d'Alessandro Migliara Syrah 2007

Description

The estate's 2007 Syrah Migliara, from an old-vine plot, impresses for its detail, nuance and clarity. In many ways it reminds me of Angelo Gaja's Sori Tildin in its jewel-like precision and multi-faceted personality. Impossibly fine, ripe tannins frame perfumed red fruit, mint, minerals and spices all the way through to a sublime, eternal finish that seems to never end. What a thrill it will be to follow this wine in the coming years. Readers will have a hard time not opening this now, but the Migliara should be even better in a few years. Today it is merely magnificent. Stylistically the Migliara is more refined than Il Bosco. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. Score - 96. (Antonio Galloni, robertparker.com, Oct. 30, 2010 )
