This classic year was saved by a fine September, and though some wines have very firm tannins, Scavino's 2008 is now approachable. The nose, packed with red fruits, is refined and pure. The palate is marked by the wine's clarity of fruit and precision, while the tannins are integrated and supported by sufficient acidity. Showing finesse rather than power, it's drinking well now, though will hold. Balanced and long, with a fresh, limpid finish.
