December 6, 2023 - Deep, dark garnet in color. Full, forward, & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of floral & earthy/dusty notes, cigar box notes of cedar & tobacco, leather, olives, anise, herbs & minty notes in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, spices, herbs & minerals. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but definitely needs additional time to develop further at which time I anticipate a higher score (97+). An indicative blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. An absolutely amazing wine!

October 29, 2023 - Tasted blind, and guessed it to be a really elegant New World Bordeaux blend. Beautiful, concentrated dark fruit powdery cocoa, fresh bread with bay leaf and rosemary, all welded together with gleaming iron backbone. We paired with grilled steak, and ascended to heaven.

September 5, 2021 - 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.
2016 : couleur sombre, violacée, très proche des 2014 et 2015, nez plus fermé, bouche également sur le fruit mais sans doute un peu plus complexe que le 2015, beaux tannins, manque un peu de magie pour être au niveau des 2006 et 2010, attendre.
