The 2007 Parej offers an intense experience from start to the minute-long finish featuring alluring hazelnut. This thoroughbred is just starting to hit its stride and will continue to drink well for another 10-15 years. Editor’s note: I can personally attest to the age-ability of Icardi’s ‘Parej’ bottling as I’ve enjoyed multiple bottles of their prized 2001 vintage in the past year.
