1997 Tenuta Ornellaia, Ornellaia - Bolgheri Superiore - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

Dark ruby garnet with a deep core and purple reflections. A touch of wateriness at the rim suggests some age. The nose is complex - cherry fruit and honey tones mingling with nougat, tobacco spice and herbs. The palate is juicy and elegant, with firm, well-integrated tannins. Savoury and persistent to the last, with a chocolate note on the finish.
The exceptionally warm and dry summer of '97 painted a sublime ripeness over the palette of grapes that season. The Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc exudes an appealing richness, layered with flavors that bear testament to that radiant growing season.

Fascinatingly, it's unapologetic power never makes you wince but instead seduces you into a slow dance with every sip, leading you further into its persuasive narrative embedded in decades of Tuscan heritage.

Bottles always stored in a controlled temperature/professional celllar.
