Magnificent wine, and so exciting to taste. There’s lots going here with dark and red berries, spice and supporting minerality, acidity and well managed yet severe tannins. Entering the plateau of pleasure. Thru 2035. 98 p.

10' Castello DEI Rampolla d ' Alceo. Decanted this beast of wine for an hour. Put it back in the bottle. Decanted it again 5 hours later, for an additional hour with dinner. Predominately Cabernet. Everything you could possibly imagine in this wine is happening! Earthiness, black/light red fruits. A hint of tar & licorice. Just when I think it can't get any better… I take another sip!! I don't know if I would give this wine the 100 points it received( damn close) Simply put… Highly recommend! It's got another 15+ years in it's prime.

Lush black fruit just coming into the zone with tannins softening. The lush, complex flavours in this wine is what wine lovers live for!
