James Suckling’s comments on recent Bolgheri and Maremma vintages

“Producers are equally happy in Bolgheri and Maremma, another key area in Tuscany…Many excellent reds were made in both 2006 and 2007, and it’s hard to say which is the better vintage. The region shows no signs of letting up, with some winemakers in the area heralding the quality of 2008, and many new producers now introducing their wines to the market. Overall, I rate the 2006 vintage 95 points and give 2007 a preliminary rating of 93-97.”
