the 2001 Vigna d'Alceo remains a behemoth

this medium-bodied Brunello has refined tannins

He brought a couple of vintages of the wine and we drank it under the trees by the vines

The 2013 has the energy of a cool

very impressive for a first vintage

Jean Noel Gagnard, Hautes Cotes Beaune Sous Eguison other_regions the 2001 Vigna d'Alceo remains(bottled under screwcap). Moderately firm reduction necessitates a quick aeration. Otherwise, there is very good freshness and verve on the palate of the delicious middle weight flavors that possess a subtle bead of minerality on the nicely detailed, dry and sneaky long finale. A quality Bourgogne; just be sure to give it some air first.
