Wine #400 in Delectable. That and Vday. Making it a good one. We really like this! Some time and the right meal would only improve!
Day 2 and this is a different wine. Perfume and florals with some coffee came out on the nose. The tannins melted into the background, fruit came out. Dark fruit, black currant, berries, a denseness - molasses like. Finish was a nice balance of that fruity molasses with sweet cherry tannins. Increasing from 94 day one to 96.

Has more potential but at this moment still too young to tango...

Loads of complexity and earthy flavours. Super smooth and silky with very fine tannins. And a long but restrained finish. Really special.

Less sweet than the Sassicaia. Excellent with heavier food or for drinking without food.

Fruit forward still with fragrant floral and earth aromas, aging complexity and subtle tertiary layers, would love to try again seated at dinner

Release dinner for the 2015 Ornellaia with the winemaker. This is a terrific wine. So approachable.
