Details
ITALY
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Camposilio, Vino da Tavola (Tuscany)--Vintage 1996(12)
La Spinetta, Pin Monferrato Rosso--Vintage 1999
Rivetti(6)
Both above in original cartons
Tasting note: Rivetti's blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo, the 1999 Pin Monferrarto Rosso, is an exotic, ripe, luxuriously intense effort displaying extravagant flavours that border on excess. It is voluptuously-textured with intense aromas of red and black fruits, smoke, and new oak. While there is a tendency to think of this as an internationally-styled offering, Nebbiolo gives the wine a finesse and complexity not found in most new breed wines. Its texture, richness, and thickness are a total turn-on. Who knows how it will age, but certainly it is impossible to resist at present. My instincts suggest drinking it over the next 7-8 years, but it may be uncommonly long-lived. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #137 Oct 2001
