2004 Castello dei Rampolla "Vigna d'Alceo" Toscana

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2004 Castello dei Rampolla "Vigna d'Alceo" Toscana (98VN, 96WS, 95RP, 94ST, 94WE). 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.
