TENUTA DELL`ORNELLAIA ORNELLAIA 1999 (2)
Tuscany.
u. 2 x bn. 2 x scraped & marked labels.
The 1999 Ornellaia demonstrates immediately the superiority of the vintage in its dark, blackish color, powerful and expansive nose of cassis, graphite, tar, and Mediterranean herbs, and its rich, concentrated, and deep flavors, sizeable but very supple as well. Drink: 2005-2022. April 2004 WA 94
TENUTA DELL`ORNELLAIA ORNELLAIA 2001 (1)
Tuscany.
u. bn. scraped & marked label.
The 2001 Ornellaia is easily the finest in the history of the estate, warm and spicy on the nose with superbly focused plum and black currant fruit, much complexity and elegance in its concentrated and supple body, and a velvety, enveloping close. It will easily drink well for another two decades. Drink: 2006-2026 April 2006 WA 96
