CASTELLO DEI RAMPOLLA VIGNA D'ALCEO 2000

Tuscany.
u. 1 x bn. 1 x vts. 1 x scraped label

For whatever reason, the full-bodied 2000 Vigna d'Alceo was roaring the day I tasted it. A single vineyard blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Sangiovese, it tastes like the Sammarco on steroids. It boasts a deep purple color in addition to scents of espresso, sweet melted licorice, black currant jam, and toasty oak. There is great intensity, superb purity, and a finish that lingers for nearly a minute. This mythical wine requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and will age effortlessly for two decades. December 2002 Drink: 2004-2022 WA 98
