Castello dei Rampolla Vigna d'Alceo Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot Blend 2009 (1500ml)

$299

...An exotic melange of dark cherries, plums, grilled herbs, cassis and new leather emerges from the glass, backed up by tons of structure. Over the last few months, the 2009 d'Alceo has softened a bit, releasing expressive, floral aromatics and brighter shades of fruit. This is a wonderfully deep, resonant d'Alceo. The 2009 will drink well with minimum cellaring within the context of prior vintages... I would say Rampolla nailed the vintage. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Iconic. Rich blackberry and plum preserves, cassis and lifted floral notes. What a treat.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Petty aromas of fresh blackberries, dark cherries, leather, earth, floral and a touch of spice. This possesses a beautiful soft, velvety texture and great finesse. Will be approachable early.

Integrated, evolved and complex...everything you wish for in a great wine. Developed notes of dark fruit, woods and tobacco. A wine to be enjoyed over for hours with an interesting companion.
