  • 1998 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto Toscana IGT 95 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT

    Dark berry nose. Tastes of cherry, caramel, raspberry, earth and a touch of mint. Nicely balanced. Massive concentration and structure. Beautiful complexity with a very elegant finish. Head and shoulders above all the rest of the wines this evening. My personal WOTN. This wine really performed much better than the last several times I have been fortunate enough to try it.

  • 1995 Argiano Solengo Toscana IGT 93 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT

    Blackberry, pepper, plumb and earth. Nice layers of fruit in the mid palate. Soft, elegant finish with much more complexity and depth than the '98. What was Jeff drinking?

  • 1998 Argiano Solengo Toscana IGT 90 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT

    Blackberry, blackcurrant and earth. Nice freshness and acidity. Spicy finish however not as complex as the '95. However, more tannic and powerful.

  • 1995 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 88 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Bolgheri, Bolgheri Sassicaia

    Tastes of blackberries and earth. Well balanced with a soft finish. Lacking the complexity and elegance of the other wines. The weakest wine of the flight.
