  Great wine which surprised me with how young it’s still drinking. My impression is 90’s ornellaia is mostly in a drinking range if still drinking young, but this was prob almost too young (which is surprising for the second wine). Oak integrated. Darker fruits. The secondary is maybe poking a bit but it’s still a bit more primary in style. Nice to see how well this is doing.

  This wine has matured into an amazingly balanced and nuanced example of what a Super Tuscan is suppose to be. I cannot imagine how it could have been any better- it wowed the guests.

  Solid but not as open as I prefer

  Tenuta dell' Ornellaia (The Wine Summit at the Post Hotel in Lake Louise): Very dark, pink rim; aromas subdued - brought out some currant fruit with coaxing; harsh entry; a lot of tannins which ride over the modest berry fruit; longer finish but the tannins outlast everything else.

  Purchased and cellared since release. Dark red, almost black at year 12. Nose on first pour: Barnyard reminiscent of Monbousquet (Bordeaux) in many vintages, which I love. This blows off in a few minutes of twirling. Then mature cassis, leather, cedar, and hints of paint thinner (for a few minutes). Soft in the mouth, balanced fruit/acid, medium long finish. Great with a prime rib.
