Possibly the best bottle that I will ever have. Given to me by my daughter-in-law Carmela Westle (OBM) a number of years ago. The bottle on this Special Occasion brought back many wonderful memories.

Pop and decant for a minute. Lovely expression of dark fruit layered with subtle nuance. Elegant and luscious mouthfeel with a smooth finish. So easy to drink.

Didn’t show well fkr an ornellaia. Was a slightly bland mix of red and black fruits. In transition? Will hold remaining bottles for a while till it relaxes into itself.

PnP in a restaurant. Wonderfully fragrant nose. Fruit dominant (rather obviously given the age) blackberry, cassis, touch of pencil, very elegant. Very enjoyable experience. Something like 93-95+ for me. Would like to try again in 5 years or so
