  Beautiful aromatics upon opening, but they blew off a bit with air. Fruit is mostly fresh, slightly muddy, but otherwise this is drinking well. Definitely missing a bit of depth and weight on the finish. Drink up!

  5/6/2020 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine:

  We've been aiming to keep our drinking in a fairly reasonable window which has tended to mean we've mostly been sticking to daily drinkers since we haven't had the opportunity to share wines. This night though we made an exception. On an evening session with Alessandro Lunardi. The official wines for the online tasting were the new releases, but I was thinking quality over quantity so opted for the single bottled of aged Ornellaia. And it was just perfect. A good reminder that there is a big difference between the great wines and the daily ones. Decent power and still some finesse. Lots of black cherry and soil and just a touch of spice notes. It was really lovely. Small pleasures in life and great wine is one of those.

  Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately. Followed over about four hours.
  
  Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of pencil shavings, slate, potpourri, spice box and mixed berries. Solid flavors of mixed berries, cherries and plums. Tangy acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold. I'd lean towards drink. In a good place right now.

  Enjoyable right out of the bottle but past its peak. After two hours of decanting it was completely gone.
