The 2008 Lamaione opens with expressive, beautifully delineated bousquet. Sweet grilled herbs, tobacco, smoke and licorice add complexity to the fruit in this harmonious wine. This is a very pretty, restrained vintage for Lamaione. Silky tannins render the wine accessible today, but it will be even better once the tannins soften a bit further. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
