Lamborghini, Campoleone, IGT

Impressively, this bottle was also similar to the 2/3/22 bottle.

Similar to the 2/3/22 bottle.

2006 vintage

Deep red color. Aromas of black cherries, tobacco and oak spices. Ripe, fully-integrated fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length. Complex and persistent on the palate. Very fresh and delicious at 16 years of age.

2006 vintage

pleasant blend of merlot and sangiovese, showing its age but still with vivid tannins. Drink up and do not oxigenate.

2006 vintage

last bottle of meny (2001, 2003, 2004 and 2006). It seems this wine is no more produced, unfortunately. Year after year the bright color dims into brown reflections and the nose gets hints of stable, wet leaves and leather, palate being consistent with some graphite and undebrush. Somehow austere but with great stuff. At the end of its best drinking window. Sad farewell to Campoleone....

2006 vintage

The eponymous 1997 is an elegant package, classic claret features, cherries, cedar, salty licorice, a beauty which clearly surpassed the other Lamborghinis in the vertical, one of the best vines in a very long time, as good as they say and worth the high price, stunningly good.

1997 vintage

again : thick and a little bit rustic, sometimes a little bit boring and too earthy. Fruit evanished. Not the best Campoleone, maybe a slightly defective cellaring. Hope my last bottle will repay this one

2006 vintage

this is a good one. I experienced a number of campoleone 2006 and this is one of the best ever. Clear, balanced, mature, elegant, perfectly integrated. Hints of licorice first and with some oxigenation subtle ripe red fruit melt with leather and underbrush. Ash in the background. Campoleone from Lamborghini at its best. PD enthusiastic

2006 vintage

thick and a little bit rustic blend of sangiovese & merlot from Lamborghini which sometimes seduces and sometimes is a little bit boring and too earthy. High standard quality and state of the art craftmenship. Always a reference in Umbia

2006 vintage

This is drinking great right now for me, but I'd say it's on the downslope. Medium (+) brickish garnet color. Aromas of darker fruits, eucalyptus, cedar, smoke, clove, black tea, dark chocolate, walnuts, and potpourri. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, with integrated tannins, and flavors of black cherry, plum, lemon, clove, black tea, and bitter orange peel. Worked great with a rib roast.

2006 vintage

What a treat nice rich ruby red and purple soft legs. Rich earthy nose like overturned rocky soil, early season red fruits like raspberry cherry and a hint of tart blueberry. Palette is nice mix of acid and sweetness hints of leather musk and just not ripe fruit long finish. Paired with lamb shanks and later with dark chocolate and sea salt. Nice wine as expected.

2006 vintage

only a shadow of what a Campoleone 2006 is expected to be. Defective bottle I assume. NR

2006 vintage

campoleone is always a benchmark for a blend of sangiovese and merlot and this 2006 in in its best drinking window. That said sometimes appears rusty and earth notes, roasted coffee and licorice hide the intrinsic softness of merlot. In a freash evening al La Thuile paired with a T bone

2006 vintage

beautiful wine bringing together the higher acdidity of sangiovese with the richness of italian merlot. almost tastes like a pomerol. love the rich velvety tongue of the wine. can drink now or hold for a few years.

2006 vintage

Served blind. Nose is marred by a little TCA but the palate tastes pretty clean. Plush and chocolatey, plum, firmly structured with plenty of lingering oak tannin, maybe a bit compressed by taint? I thought this was Merlot dominant blend, suggested 2000 Monbousquet...totally missed the Sangiovese here.

1997 vintage

Tasted blind. Pretty musty nose, wet basement, indicative of being corked. Some soft cherry scents underneath. It doesn't really seem that corked on the palate, with a nice round body. Cherry soda on the palate, great tannic structure and finish but the fruit is just dysfunctional. I think whatever is going on with this bottle is diminishing what it should be.

1997 vintage

Everyone thought this was a little corked. I'm not sure myself, but I'll go with it, as the wine was not very revealing nor interesting. But it had come right from the cellar, cold, and not decanted like the other wines on the table, so we did not exactly give it the best presentation. Nevertheless, the bottle was completely consumed, so it could not have been all bad. Anyway, it was my last bottle so I wasn't too inclined to …

1997 vintage

at the end my patience has been rewarded : this bottle is a great bottle, more mature and round than previous where CAmpoleone expresses its pure essence. Juicy but complex, with earth floor at first sip and then a cascade of ripe red fruit, basically plums, with some leather roasted coffee, toast. Perfect balance between and sangiovese and merlot. Guess the best drinking window started. Good news for my 6 bottles still waiting

2006 vintage

keep on improving but still too young to give its best. Graphite and leather over all with roasted coffee in a gentleoak hint . Bitter end. Not sure - at this point - if it will improve further. With Paola & Luigi and sons on Christmas dinner chez moi

2006 vintage

2006 Campoleone is Improving with time altbough this vintage if compared with 2001, 2003 and 2004 shows a prevailing sangiovese over merlot. Nice hints of leather roasted coffee and graphite and ripe red fruit. Best paired with a T-bone steak in a rainy summer evening over the Alps at LT

2006 vintage

Outstanding. Hints of chocolate and smoke. Great with grilled meats.

2006 vintage

Camphor and stewed prunes on the nose; on the palate, black cherry, menthol, and notes of anise and lemon citrus on the medium finish, with good acidity. This isn't as good as the 2004 was, although it is in its drinking window and shows no sign of declining soon. Good value at $30.

2006 vintage

Consistent with the first two bottles I've tasted, this wine was also brick red in color and showed sexy red fruits on the nose. The mouth feel brought beautifully mellowed, subtlely sweet tannins and the finish was long with nice oak elements. Purchased for $28US from lastbottlewines.com, this wine is in a very good place right now. Drink up! Shared with friends tonight watching the Phillies game on TV. Imported by Blicker Pierce Wagner Wine Merchants, Napa, CA.

2006 vintage

You'd think this is a Bordeaux. It is drinking wonderful right now but has a few years before it peaks. Blackberry, kirsch, wood tones, just beautiful. A favorite for the price at $28

2006 vintage

Nice minerals, dark fruit, dust and spice on the nose. Medium in the mouth, not thin. Lingering finish of stone and cooked fruit. PJG: 89-90

2006 vintage

Very nice on pop and pour. Black licori=ice and dark fruit, bracing acidity. Doesn't develop well in glass however: becomes 'pruney', with a drying finish.

tons of sediment astringent aroma

1997 vintage

Crimson colored. Fig, strawberry jam, light toast, clove, and nutmeg on nose. Different character on palate --> sour cherry, cranberry, and some vegetal - mushroom. Medium full body. Silky texture. Medium plus finish. Needs food and/or cheese. Very enjoyable and has a plenty of ageing time ahead.

1997 vintage

Another modern Tuscan blend made by Ricardo Cotarella. Drank alongside a 1997 Solaia and found it to be equally as boring. Even after 3 hours of decanting, this wine just sits in the glass and tastes like every other wine made in this style.

1997 vintage

I LOVE THIS WINE. I can't believe the sommelier at the restaurant claimed this bottle was corked. It was perfect. Sure its musty, barnyard, wet hay bouquet might throw you off, but that is how it is meant to be. Well rounded tannins. Sad I only have 2 left.

1997 vintage

Ruby and medium-bodied. Powerful nose, terrific velvety mouthfeel, strong finish. Quite primary, a mix of red and plummy dark fruit. A little spice. Just 13% alcohol and you can tell--it's extremely delicate for a wine with this much fruit. With air the tannin became more prominent, but that just shows it was drunk too young. I think other tasters may appreciate this wine's finesse more than I did. Poor QPR--you can get wine this good for half the price. I …

1997 vintage

Initially I thought the nose was very muted while my friends all thought the nose was open and lovely. There were notes of mint, a bit of smoke and a hint of licorice. Very concentrated on the palate and surprisingly tannic. My second pour ended up being spilled on the tablecloth, and my third pour was much better. Nose was much more open with additional notes of herbs and coffee grounds.

1997 vintage

Still at 12 years old looking like a baby in color. Still really dary purple. Incredibly intoxicating nose of fresh berry, plums and a good hit of expensive french barriques, but not at all in a bad way. This is a pretty serious showing for this wine. Very impressive.

1997 vintage

Deep and mature bouquet with a lot of good cherries. Full bodied, soft, a lot of sweetness and milk-chocolate. The alcohol is a little edgy and aggressive. The tannin soft but still sticky. Overall an excellent wine.
