Brooding, deep red fruits, kitchen spice, layers of cedar, tobacco, cocoa powder. Bright acidity and balanced. Likely still too young. but heck, I'm celebrating!

Birthday wine tasting-not a bad bottle in the bunch! Hard to go wrong with this label especially with ten years on it. Sweet spot

Mar 7th, 2018Pizza and wine Saturday. This bottle was still 2/3 rd full by the end. Least favorite from the crew. Second label for ornellaia is usually sound but this bottle was dry, lacking the fruit with more of tar and smoke.

Large nose with dark fruit, leather, cedarwood, dark bitter chocolate and pleasant aromatic notes. Medium to full body with nice tannins, fresh acidity and long pleasant bitter aftertaste. Great Wine.

This needs decanting. Dark fruit, significant oak. Full body, still tannic. Long finish.

Delicious Super Tuscan. Superb with slow cooked lamb shoulder and pumpkin puree. 2008 vintage, plenty of life left in it.
