The 2009 Vermentino Solosole shows terrific focus and drive in its ripe fruit, minerals and subtle notes of petrol that come through on the finish. The 2009 has only been recently bottled, and it comes across as a touch compact at this stage. With a few more months in bottle the exuberant nature of the vintage should come through with greater clarity. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.
