The 2009 Capogatto is totally dialed in in this vintage. Grilled herbs, graphite, licorice, plums and black cherries are woven together in this subtle yet opulent wine. If the Capogatto was made in Bordeaux, it would cost at least twice as much. The 2009 is totally harmonious from start to finish. Layers of fruit build to the juicy, explosive finish. Capogatto is Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. I can't wait to see how this ages. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. The Poggio Scalette wines aren't always easy to find, but they are well worth the effort. This is another strong set of new releases from father and son team Vittorio and Jurij Fiore. In particular, I was impressed with the Chianti Classico, which shows tons of character and personality at a very fair price.A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
