Thursday, January 10, 2008 - French Bakery BYO 1990's Tuscan IGT Dinner; 1/8/2008-1/10/2008 (French Bakery, 1023 Kane Concourse, Bay Harbor Islands, FL): Mark's wine(me).Due to personal logisitical problems, double decanted the night before. Received 9 1sts in the Rampolla flight, and was subsequently given 7 out of 10 1sts for WOTN. Everyone loved this wine, however, based on my prior experience, it would have benefitted from more air. An intense world class cabernet Sauvignon, with decades left.
I was introduced to the Alceo, by my Panzano landlord for a week in 2000, Mimo Baldi whose restaraunt and enoteca are prominent in Panzano. At the time I purchased several thousand $, of 96 and 97 Tuscan wines,when the Euro was LESS THAN 1. He let me buy 3 of the 97 SOLAIA, but only one of the ALCEO. (I subsequently acquired more from Morrell Wine auctions. I have two left, and am trading Craig one, for the 97 Sassacaia. The remaining one, I will let sleep, until I'm at least 75!
