The difficult truth first: this wine could drink now, but it's better left to sit. Next, the easy part: when you do open it, you'll be rewarded with an elegant gentleman of a wine. Harmonious, balanced, and with structure to last for another decade or two, the '07 Bolgheri Superiore, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese, shows opulence. Rich, dark plums and red cherries rest on a foundation of cedar, herbs, coffee beans and, eventually, a touch of new leather. It's a bespoke suit of a wine, one where the tailor's hands have fit the lush fabric into a classic profile. Drinking for the next two decades.
