    May 20, 2023 - PNP at Ornellaia Zurich.
    Ex Chateau
    Ripe, with some barnyard and stewed red fruit. Evolved nicely in the glass.

    April 10, 2023 - Deep red color and a surprisingly fruity nose - especially compared to the Tignanello of the same year we drank side by side. The Ornellaia seemed to be fresher but had a dominant acidity both in the nose and on the palate during the first 1 or 2 hours. That disappeared in the course of the evening and left the wine much more balanced. A lively bouquet of red fruit and espresso, some chocolate and vanilla. Medium but silky finish. Will hold for a couple of more years.

    March 25, 2022 - Deep garnet red. Still very fruity red and black currant blueberry cherry some delicious mushroom and roasted notes. Full bodied with very long lingering finish

    November 13, 2019 - Slight brick rim, cherry red, dominating green pepper tomato vine, finishing on a silky sweet cherry note. The finish was better than the nose. This wine is at the cusp of starting its decline, I would urge everyone to start enjoying them before it’s too late. Drink now and over the following 5 years
