Details
Ornellaia--Vintage 1995
Tuscany. Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
One double-magnum with damaged capsule and very slight signs of seepage
In original wooden case with cardboard lid
Tasting Note: Is the 1995 Ornellaia better than previous vintages? It is too soon to know, but this is unquestionably another stunning wine in what has been a strong succession of top wines since 1988. The colour is a saturated, thick-looking, ruby/purple. The nose offers up aromas of roasted coffee, jammy black cherry liqueur, and cassis intermixed with spice. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with well-integrated wood, tannin, and acidity. Pure, youthful, and accessible, this impressively endowed wine should drink well for 10-15+ years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 119 (Oct 1998).
