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.

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

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

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