WS Insider - issue Sep. 09, 2009
- Do Ut Des 2007 : 94 pts
Very ripe and intense on the nose, with prune, licorice, blackberries
and flowers. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, powerful
finish, with lots of toasted oak and ripe fruit. Full-throttle style.
Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2012.—J.S.
