Scrio Rosso 2008 Le Macchiole

Professionelle Bewertungen

The 2008 Scrio (Syrah) wraps around the palate with layers of rich, dark fruit. This is a decidedly cool Scrio that stands apart from some of the more bombastic wines of recent vintages. Dark cherries, plums, espresso and sweet herbs are some of the aromas and flavors that emerge over time, but it is the integration of the French oak this year that truly elevates the wine to another level. Not surprisingly, in 2008 Scrio was aged exclusively in 1 year-old barrels, with no new oak, which makes a huge difference. This is understated and flat-out great.

Exuding blackberry, black currant and pepper notes, this bright red shows some restraint, with the fruit being the main theme. Polished, yet elegant and cohesive, with a fine, spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Syrah.
