Took some time till it really started. But after 2 hours it was a great tuscan bdx blend. Rather young, but therefore it was a perfect match to ossobucco.

Saturated dark ruby in color. Complex aromas of smoky cassis, black cherries, leather, violets and warm spices. Layered and dense palate shows sweet dark small fruits, a herbal savoriness, medium acidity and a long perfumed and smoky finish.

An excellent wine, well into its drinking phase but with time in hand. It has intense blackcurrant fruit, with a hint of dark cherry, a slightly gravelly, volcanic character and great length. Very fine indeed.

Ornellaia Dinner (Stefani Prime - Lincolnwood IL): The single ringer in what turned out to be a double blind Ornellaia vertical, which I correctly identified as an Italian Bordeaux blend. Maybe it stood out too much or maybe this was an off bottle, but this was universally everybody tonight. Backward with little grace tonight.
