A sanguine red, with graphite and sawdust flavors accented by tea. This is taut and firms up on the finish, but the tea, tobacco and spice notes linger. Best from 2015 through 2027. 620 cases made. Score: 91 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2015-2027 30 November 2012 |

A juicy and fruity wine with dried strawberry and spice character. Hints of stones. Full body, with chewy tannins and a fruity finish. Sliced citrus fruit at the finish. Try in 2014. Score: 91 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2014+ 19 July 2012 |

The 2008 Barolo Margheria opens with a sweet, inviting bouquet redolent of hard candy, flowers, mint and licorice. Deceptively medium in body, the Margheria packs quite a bit of punch, even if that isn't totally obvious at the outset. Layers of dark fruit flow through to a powerful, incisive finish laced with dried flowers and spices. The Margheria is notable for its intensity and textural depth. It is another super-classy wine from Azelia. Score: 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2018-2028 01 April 2012 |
