AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Falstaff 1998
Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarter Ockertouch, breite Randaufhellung. Reife Herzkirschen, feiner Nougat unterlegt, tabakig, etwas Menthol, Anklänge von Dörrfeigen, angenehme Kräuterwürze. Straff am Gaumen, feste Tannine, schokoladiger Touch, weißer Pfeffer im Abgang, besitzt gute Komplexität und Länge, sicheres weiteres Reifepotenzial.
The 1998 Ornellaia has matured gracefully with many early reviews from wine writers missing the mark as to where this wine would be after 28 years. Ruby color with some bricking on the edge. Black cherries, blackberries and black raspberries in the nose with notes of licorice, mocha, leather and herbalness. Black raspberries, black cherries and chocolate in the flavor with hints of herbalness. The 1998 Ornellaia is in its prime drinking period right now. Full bodied, elegant, complex and a long finish.
always kept in cellar with temperature and humidity control
sempre tenuto in cantina con temperatura e umiditá controllata
