Vigna D'Alceo--Vintage 1999
Tuscany. Castello di Rampolla
In original cartons
Tasting note: The monumental 1999 Vigna d'Alceo is a 20,000-bottle cuvee of 85 Cabernet Sauvignon and 15 Sangiovese aged in oak. It boasts an exceptionally provocative nose of liquid minerals, graphite, plums, creme de cassis, and cherry liqueur. It is fabulously concentrated yet remarkably light on its feet, with medium to full body, sweet tannin, and layer upon layer of flavor nuances. There is plenty of glycerin in this rich, but neither heavy nor overbearing effort. This is a thrilling tour de force! However, it requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. Bravo!
