1994 Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco Toscana IGT

SuperTuscan Blend more

3/24/2024 - msayers1994 Likes this wine: 95 points

Wow this was good. Pop and pour and it was ready to go. Sour cherry, clay, spice. Lots of earthy notes. Soft tannins and a long finish. I'll reiterate what another user here said - I am bummed I don't have more in the cellar!

quite natural and interesting, needs time to reveal, initially felt quite evolved, maybe the hot year, notes of port/marsala, but with time it goes away and reveals beautiful harmony, enjoyed the most after 2-3hours we opened the bottle

PnP. Great tertiary aromas (tobacco, leather). Tasty nose / palate of ripe (black) fruits (cherry, currant). Nice tannin structure with high acidity. Medium finish. Good value for money.

Drank for a magnum that was decanted for a few hours. Personally I found this ready to go after some time open. That said I am never a huge fan of Italian Cabernet Sauvignon. It has all the dark ripe characters or Napa or Bordeaux but a sour astringency that is not my favorite.

Dense texture with chewy tannins that have just started to integrate. Milk chocolate, ripe plums, tart cherry, leather, and gamey earth. Likely better in a few years but definitely in the drinking window now.

It’s polished but still has some rustic character of that makes sense.

Double decanted for regular wine group about 4 hours. Was very good but wonder if more air would have helped. This stood along well with higher competition. This could go on for at least several more years at least.

11th of 12, opened an hour then splash decanted, perfect level, cork third stained, little changed from last bottle in Aug 22, now quite round and layered, ,tannins mostly resolved, attractive enough but not a stellar vintage for this wine, plateau but no rush. F (17.5).

2006 Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco Toscana IGT

SuperTuscan Blend more

3/2/2024 - Yohansmas Likes this wine: NR

2006 와인이 이정도로 좋을지 알았다면 처음부터 곱게 땄으면 손이 안다치지 않았을까 싶다.
결론부터 말하자면 이정도 가격애에서 이렇게까지 좋은 와인이 있었나 싶을 정도로 좋았던 와인.
물론 볼륨의 한계가 없는 것은 아니나 그 한계의 극까지 가본 와인이 아닐지.

코에서는 아주 명쾌한 삼나무 계열의 오크향과 톡 쏘는듯한 민트가 느겨진다.
이어서 감초와 같은 향신료도 나는데 이건 지배적이라기 보다는 은은하게 퍼지는 거셍 가깝다.
마지막에는 달달한 연유향도 나긴 하는데 이것 역시 달콤한 것만 있는게 아니라 가죽향과 동시에 나는 것에 가깝다.

입에서는 오키함이 가장 먼저 다가오고 과실미가 있기는 하나 마치 건포도를 씹는 맛에 가깝다.
이어서 미디엄~풀 사이의 바디감과 새콤할 정도의 산도가 느껴진다.
음식과 나쁜 조합은 아니나 음식보다는 와인을 먼저 즐겨볼 것을 권장한다.

Very nice Chianti. Popped and poured. Dark and red fruits are prominent. Typical Sangiovese notes with reasonable tannins. Rampolla is a top notch producer and this wine shows well and will continue to do so for several years.

Nice to drink, but one note, lacks definition and medium in its intensity. Nothing about this wine would define it in a blind tasting. Only had one bottle , so not sure if this is typical.

Légère déception sur cette cuvée.Robe bien évoluée.Bouquet d'intensité moyenne qui offre des senteurs de sous-bois,de terre mouillée de fruits rouges (cerise,framboise).La bouche est relativement souple avec 80% CS en cépage majoritaire.Longueur finale bonne sans être grandiose.J'en attendais beaucoup plus vu la qualité globale du millésime et de surcroit je ne suis pas certain que des années supplémentaires en cave vont le bonifier davantage.A boire.

2/25/2024 - Jabulani Likes this wine: 90 points

Showing its age, but shakes off the initial funk (which has apparently been a character of this wine since 2004!) to come together into a complex old Tuscan wine, lacking varietal character, but certainly enjoyable. Not a great vintage, not a wine which should have been aged this long, so your mileage may vary, but this bottle was decent.

Assertive tannins followed by full bodied fruit. A voluptuous body once you get passed the initial tannins. A beautiful melange of brambly blackberries and red fruit. Nice complexity. Very enjoyable.

1990 Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco Toscana IGT

2/21/2024 - heathenone@msn.com Likes this wine: 93 points

2 hours after a double decant, and some some in a glass, this wine was singing! Beautiful full deep color, followed by dark berries on the nose, and more dark berrries, pencil lead, and with some christmas spice on the palate. Palate was full bodied, and went great with the Rib eye and the pasta/bolognese sauce at Ca Dario Montecito. Still has years to go. The goup enjoyed it and rated it in the middle of the pack of 10 wines.

Everything you want from Chianti Classico. Vibrant dark raspberry with crisp acidity and plenty of grip. Will last many years but already drinking nicely. 13.5%

Quite a lot of Chianti (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Really good. Saturated dark cherry, spicy oak, violet, vanilla: contained but deep. Clearly of breeding from a quality producer - a contrast of high toned perfume with fruit depth. Subtly concentrated on the palate with a bitter edge, fine tannins.

The 2nd time I've tried this particular vintage, and if you like bright red fruit & acidity on a lighter-bodied chassis, this might be the CC for you. Sweet & sour cherry on the palate, this is very pleasant and a real food friendly wine.

Nice evolvement since the last bottle two years ago. Still young, but a great performance with delicate cherrie fruit, well-balanced oak, and a nice tannic structure. Very stylish and promising. 95+

This opens very tight and opens very slowly. Tasted over three days, does not move much, though wee hints of oxidation is showing on the last day. Red berries, herbs, quite pronounced tannin, accent on the fresh fruit.

Brought to Lento for recruitment dinner. This bottle was stellar. Took a little while to open up, but then it had good fruit, a velvety smooth texture, and lots of nice secondary/tertiary flavors. Probably a bit past peak overall, but this was a really nice mature wine. Hope my last bottle is as good.

Finally cracked one. Solid if unspectacular CC. Not suremit justifies the price. A little sleek for Sangiovese but bright and open. Typical cherry and herbal notes. Will be interesting to follow the other bottles starting a year from now.

5/7/2010 - rikipedia Likes this wine: 94 points

Wine Cellar Food & Wine - Italy Super Tuscan (Auslese, Cape Town): (Tasted Blind):An expressive bouquet of intense black fruits, cherry, earth, cinnamon, and bramble combined with an undercurrent of wood bark. The palate persists with black fruit, tobacco and some star anise. Whilst rich, sumptuous, and powerful, the tannins are noticeable and give a firm grip and solidity. The acidity is high, and there is an undertone of sour cherry. Full-bodied, the wine has a pretty hefty extract if not quite the depth of a top example. Yet all things said this is a cracking wine!
