2016 D’Alceo Toscana IGT, Castello dei Rampolla
Falstaff Magazin: „Sattes, undurchdringliches Rubinviolett. Eröffnet mit leicht rauchigen Noten, dann satt nach Holunderbeeren, Cassis und Lakritze. Kleidet den Gaumen satt aus, viel präsente Frucht, öffnet sich mit herzhaftem, zupackendem Tannin in vielen Schichten, im Finale feine erdige Noten, süßer Schmelz.“
Monica Larner für Robert Parker: „The Castello dei Rampolla 2016 d'Alceo is an extra dark and brooding expression of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot in a supporting role. The wine sits firmly on the palate, imparting weight, staying power and extra heat. In fact, some sort of bistecca alla Fiorentina or otherwise succulent grilled meat pairing is what comes immediately to mind. The immense power of the wine rumbles and trembles in the glass, figuratively speaking, revealing dried blackberry, prune and black cherry confit. This 2016 vintage shows impressive clarity and focus both on the nose and in the mouth.“
Vinous Antonio Galloni: „The 2016 D'Alceo combines unctuous intensity with pure, raw power. It won't be ready to drink until age ten, at least, but there is plenty to look forward to. With a few hours of air, the fruit and breadth both start to emerge. Inky blueberry, lavender, cloves, leather and licorice are some of the many nuances that build over time.“
James Suckling: „Lots of richness here, but there’s always balance and focus with blackberry and chocolate character and hazelnut undertones. Bark, too. It’s full-bodied, but tight and focused at the end. Always a great wine. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2024.“
