Ornellaia--Vintage 1997
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Antinori
Six bottles are offered in an original wooden case and six in a carton
Tasting Note: The estate's 1997 Ornellaia (65 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot and 5 Cabernet Franc) combines the large-framed opulence of the 1999 with the slightly more herbal notes found in the 1998. It is a big, plump wine packed with layers of fruit and well-integrated oak, showing outstanding length and the telltale note of sweetness on the finish that defines this vintage.
