On my trip to Bolgheri, I brought this to Ornellaia for my tasting, bottle was pristine with fill well into the neck and cork was nearly perfect as well. PNP and served along side the 2020 this did not disappoint. Great deep color with orange brown at meniscus. Aromas of dried dark fruits, leather, and earthy. Well balanced and quite delightful the palate was similar to the aromas. Nice long finish and a treat to try. At peak, but hokding well.

Brownish colour. Pleasant aromas of dark berries, smoke, earth. Acidity is a bit strong. No aromatic depth in the mouth. Still drinking OK but not giving great pleasure. Had it with home made Burgers, sweet onions and fried zucchini which helped the wine a bit.

Pnp at home. Dark garnet not showing its age. Initially showing some forest floor and a bit thin fruit, this gains weight with some time in the open bottle. A fairly sombre style of wine with plenty of dark fruit, a touch of coffee but also green notes. Still fine to medium tannins. Rather short. Prefer the brighter and better balanced Sassicaia in the same vintage.

Lots of wood ash on the nose. Nice balance and smooth tanina. Leather and red berries.
