1999 ORNELLAIA
Recently removed from excellent cellarage
Ornellaia--Vintage 1999
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Antinori
In original six-bottle wooden cases
Tasting note: I was blown away by the 1999 Ornellaia. Still fresh and youthful, it reveals a powerful, authoritative personality in its layers of primary fruit, with its opulence beautifully balanced by its big yet polished tannins. Another year or two of bottle age is probably called for but readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gorgeous wine. Given its considerable structure it should have no problem aging for another dozen years. In 1999 the blend consisted of 65 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot and 5 Cabernet Franc. 95/Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. Antonio Galloni, Italy Report #GX, April 2007
