  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.

  This wine is not yet ready to even begin drinking. Yes I am referring to the 2008 vintage, which is hard to believe. This after a quick double decant to clear the sediment. 91 points for lots of promise.

  Not quite as transcendent as the last time. A little oxidized on the nose. But the mid and the finish were pretty spectacular.

  Castello dei Rampolla, d’Alceo, dégustation verticale | Caratello | 5 septembre 2021 | Dolder, Zürich
  Dégustation verticale de 10 millésimes de « d’Alceo » du Castello dei Rampola (Vigna d’Alceo jusqu’en 1998). Globalement, une très belle dégustation pour ce vin phare du domaine (assemblage de 85% de Cabernet Sauvignon et de 15% de Petit Verdot). Si les millésimes 1996, 1998 et 2000 étaient un peu trop évolués pour moi, les 2006 et 2010 étaient absolument magiques. Bonnes notes également pour les 2015 et 2016 qui sont promis à un très bel avenir. Je suis par contre un peu plus sceptique sur les 2003, 2008 et 2014 qui ne m’ont pas véritablement emballé.
  2008 : sombre, un peu alcoolique au nez, tannins durs, un peu séchards, clair manque d’équilibre, pas sûr que les tannins ne s’arrondissent avec le temps, clairement en retrait des 2006 et 2010.

  Gorgeous Brdx blend from the heart of Chianti Classico area, Panzano. Ready to drink after opened for a day. Last sips after 6 days. Amarena cherry, cassis, flowers on the nose. Dusty tannins and long taste.
