Lying in Kemble, Gloucestershire (Octavian)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Ornellaia--Vintage 1988
Tuscany. Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Tasting Note: This brilliant wine is one of the best new breed Tuscan reds I have tasted. The colour is a sensational black/purple and the nose offers gorgeously intense aromas of black plums, cassis, licorice, and spicy new oak. In the mouth, there is extraordinary opulence and richness, enough acidity to provide grip, and plenty of tannin lurking behind the cascade of fruit. The explosive finish goes on and on. Approachable, even delicious now, this splendid wine promises to get even better over the next 4-6 years and possibly last through the first decade of the next century. Impressive! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 82 (Aug 1992)
