The 2007 Lagrein Gran Lareyn is a powerful, distinctive red laced with minerals, graphite, jammy dark fruit, herbs and spices. This super-concentrated, textured Lagrein offers exceptional balance and a long, impeccable finish. It also seems to have enough freshness to develop nicely in bottle. That said, it is pretty impressive, even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2019. This Alto Adige estate is part of the Loacker family’s holdings that also includes properties in Maremma and Montalcino. I only tasted two wines, but they were both delicious.
