(Castello di Rampolla Sammarco) Right off the bat it was very apparent that this was not as ripe as the '97. Which is not a demerit against the wine at all. Ripeness is not all. Still this was very opulent on the palate but the tannins were more there and less fine than the '97. The nose was a bit more developed than the '97 with great complex spice, menthol, black berries, cherries and mineral. Despite the wealth of tannins this was pretty accesible but has some legs.

Blind. Her gikk jeg til en strukturert vestside BdX, type 1988 eller 1986.

Mörk frukt, plommon, tobak, lite kryddig, soja
I smaken inte så jättemycket koncentration med rätt sträva tanniner. Hyfsad finish.
85% cabernet sauvignon and 15% sangiovese

Drinking well now and should have a few years left, despite some notes that it is past it's prime
