Score: Robert Parker 90/100
"Villa Antinori 2008 is richer and darker than the 2007 tasted at the same time. Black cherry, smoke, licorice and tar are some of the notes that emerge from its power. A long, intense finish rounds things off". (The Wine Advocate August 2011 - Robert Parker)

Note and review by M. JEANBAPTISTE H. Published on 22/04/2014
Impeccable, a sure bet. The 2010 is also excellent. Open at least half an hour in advance and take it out of the cellar in the morning for lunch, at room temperature.
