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.

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.

Holding up very well. Notes close to an old mid range Bordeaux.
