Score 93/100 · Drink 2013-2023, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2011

The 2008 Guardiavigna F1 presents a slightly darker flavor profile than the straight Guardiavigna, with correspondingly greater power and overall richness. The F1 possesses gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and a round, enveloping finish. Sweet grilled herbs, mocha and spices add the final layers of complexity in this relatively muscular red. The Guardiavigna F1 is 80% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot.

The 2008 Guardiavigna is beautifully focused, long and pure. Sweet dark berries, espresso, plums, grilled herbs and spices are some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from this beautifully delineated, vibrant red. The 2008 isn’t a blockbuster, rather it is a wine that impresses for its finesse and overall sense of harmony. Guardiavigna is a Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc/Merlot blend. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2022. Importer: A.I. Selections, Astoria, NY; tel. (718) 777-2243; Match Wines USA, Plaistow, NH; tel. (091) 921 1891
