This is a decidedly subdued set of wines from Rampolla. Part of that is attributable to the vintages themselves, especially 2014, but Rampolla's strict adherence to biodynamic farming is a factor as well, because the estate can't intervene the way conventionally farmed properties can in the face of challenging conditions. The dual flagships Sammarco and d'Alceo are noticeably laid back in 2012. Over the years, though, I have tasted enough older vintages here to know that the more modest wines often surprise in the medium and long term. There is a good chance that may happen here as well. For now, the 2012s aren't as immediately impressive as many other vintages have been at a similar stage of their lives.
