Parker about Vigna d'Alceo 1998
A fine offering is the 1998 Vigna d'Alceo. An opaque purple-colored blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and small quantities of Syrah and Petit Verdot, it is a large-scaled wine with exceptional elegance and complexity as well as more power and richness than the Sammarco. A sweet entry on the palate is followed by abundant quantities of smoky, complex, black currant fruit intermixed with lead pencil and vanillin flavors. Medium-bodied, beautifully knit, and suave, it possesses sweet tannin.

On the palate, the 1998 vintage is powerful yet elegant, with well-structured tannins, lively acidity, and a full-bodied finish. The finish is long and complex, lending the wine great depth and ageability.
