Castello dei Rampolla - Toscana Sammarco 2004 (750ml)

Drinking window: 2015 - 2029

The 2004 Sammarco shows why this is such a magnificent vintage for Tuscany. Silky, layered and impeccably refined, the 2004 possesses notable breadth and richness, yet remains light on its feet. The flavors are bright, with a level of crystalline purity that is impossible to miss. Best of all, the 2004 continues to age gracefully. I imagine the 2004 will offer a wide drinking window of pure pleasure. The 2004 isn't one of the biggest or most imposing Sammarcos, but it is among the most finessed. 

Antonio Galloni

Shows very beautiful aromas of currant, raspberry and Indian spices. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, clean finish. A tiny bit austere, but should come along nicely with time. The best Sammarco since 1997. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best after 2010. 1,945 cases made.
