Bordeaux notes with Italian charm. Tobacco, cherry/strawberry combo with mild plum scent. It’s very elegant and drinking superbly now with classic touches. (93)
Tasted 11 of March 2005. Glass Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux Grand Cru
1995 Castello dei Rampolla, Sammarco, Tuscany, Italy
(TN from memory)
Smoke, leather, dust, buttermilk, dark berries with a mild cherry touch. It’s a great combo of Bordeaux likings and Italian Charm – classic cut and with no flawed designer IGT moves. If anything the wines is rather dry, with need of a fruit overcoat – but its structure and rustic charm saves it. The taste is dry – bitter tannins, Tuscan herbal afterburners, but structural very good with superb bite (93)
