Lot 345 Details
GIUSEPPE QUINTARELLI ALZERO CABERNET 1997

Veneto.
u. 3 x vts. 3 x scraped labels.

Quintarelli's 1997 Alzero is a masterpiece. Blessed with extraordinary, captivating aromatics, it reveals new layers of spice, licorice, coffee, chocolate, cassis, minerals and sweet dark fruit with each successive taste. What I find most remarkable about this wine is that, despite being packed with jammy, concentrated fruit, it is remarkably light on its feet. It is a wine I never tire of tasting and is not to be missed. October 2007 WA 97

3 bts.    per lot $2,000 - $2,200
