...Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, plums, mint and licorice all take shape in the glass Over the last few months, the 2009 d'Alceo has softened a bit, releasing expressive, floral aromatics, brighter shades of fruit and striking inner perfume, but it remains quite vibrant... The 2009 is a wonderfully deep, resonant d'Alceo... It certainly looks like 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.

Medium ruby color with slightly garnet rim. Dark berry and plum on the nose. Medium acid, tannins are softened but still present. It benefited from decanting. Tastes like dark fruit, dark chocolate, graphite, reminded me of some Bordeaux bottles.

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.
