Description

2004 D’Alceo Toscana IGT, Castello dei Rampolla

D’Alceo spiegelt die Eigenschaften des Weinbergs, aus dem er stammt, vollständig wider. Intensiv, warm, raffiniert und elegant. Die reifen roten Früchte harmonieren perfekt mit den Noten von zarter Zigarre und Tabak.

Eine unglaubliche Konzentration ohne Schwere. Ausnahmsweise sprechen wir nicht von einem Wein, sondern von der Persönlichkeit eines von Alceo gepflanzten Weinbergs, der sich nicht hätte vorstellen können, die hervorragende Kombination aus Lage, Boden und Rebsorten (Cabernet Sauvignon und Petit Verdot) gefunden zu haben.

Die durchschnittliche Produktion beträgt 6000 - 12000 Flaschen.

Vinous:
The 2004 d'Alceo is off the charts. Freshly cut flowers, mint and dark red berries are all finely knit in a fabric of superb elegance and pure pedigree. It is fascinating to watch the evolution of Vigna d'Alceo from a wine of power to a wine of finesse, and 2004 is the inflection point in that arc. The silkiest and most refined tannins imaginable support an impeccable, layered finish peppered with dark red/black fruit, smoke, tobacco, licorice and savory herbs. Simply put, the 2004 is stunning.

Wine Spectator:
Displays gorgeous, focused aromas of blackberry, currant and sandalwood. Full-bodied and tightly wound, with velvety tannins and a long finish of mineral, light fresh rosemary and currant. Solid as a rock.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The 2004 D’Alceo (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot) is even better. It is deceptively rounder and softer than the Sammarco in its expression of cassis, minerals, licorice and sweet, dark fruit. Despite the lushness of its fruit there is plenty of structure lurking underneath, and it will require significant patience before offering its finest drinking. It is one of the highlights of the vintage.
