Community Tasting Notes 6

  November 23, 2019 - An interesting and enjoyable wine. Good body with depth and richness; retains some tannin, even after twenty years. The grape taste is deep and surprisingly satisfying. The wine aged well; as it opened over two hours, the taste expanded and significantly improved. The first hour, post decanting taste was not as rich or fulfilling as the second or third. I enjoyed the wine, so did my wife.

  May 26, 2012 - Tenuta dell' Ornellaia (The Wine Summit at the Post Hotel in Lake Louise): This is the second wine to the cuvée Ornellaia.
  1998 was a cooler than normal year.
  Saturated dark garnet - amber rim; slightly vegetal aroma, but then comes through with currant fruit; well delineated on the palate - currant fruit - soft tannins; medium finish.
