Ornellaia--Vintage 1998
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Antinori
Tasting Note: The 1998 is a decidedly slender Ornellaia. More advanced than the 1999, it shows notes of tobacco, herbs and ripe fruit on a medium-bodied frame with good length on the palate and slightly less polished tannins than is usually the case. The final blend in 1998 was 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 Merlot and 5 Cabernet Franc. Ornellaia is a Bordeaux-inspired blend consisting principally of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Fermentation and maceration lasts between 25-30 days after which the wines are moved into French oak barrels where they age for 12 months. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #137 (Oct 2001)
