Peter Dipoli
Iugum Alto Adige Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon
Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, ItalyAnd they say its takes two to tango, this rarity from the great Peter Dipoli sure is something to spend the night with.
Still remarkably fresh in its primary fruit with one foot entering its drier stage embedding its very sophisticated and complex tertiary character of truffles, forrest floor, coffee, mint chocolate and spice. The palate flows with such an elegant posture, with a good portion very fine powdery tannins that holds the wine throughout and developing, complex finish.

2011. Wasn't expecting a right-bank blend from the Dolomites to be this good. Fantastic, actually. Ripe, juicy, balanced, very much an Italian vibe on the finish.

Jan 31st, 2017Floral nose with hints of plum and spice. Dark fruit (especially blueberries and blackberries), oak, and pepper on the tongue. A distinct creaminess due to malolactic. Long and tannic finish. Has legs to age.

Aug 31st, 2016Good ripeness of fruit yet definitely cool climate structure and finesse, made in a classic style. There should be another 15 years in this one!

Cool climate influence. Restrained, acidity still driving.

Really showing its age and missing the acid up front. Flat.
