Description

Ornellaia 1990
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
1vhs, 4nl, owc
Bottle (12)

Wines from a Los Angeles Collector. Wines were stored in a commercial wine storage facility.

“Good fresh deep red. Knockout nose combines black fruits, tar, mocha and humus. A hugely concentrated, sweet wine with great richness of fruit and extract. The first vintage of Ornellaia to reach 14% alcohol, and it shows in the wine's compelling thickness. Far from the subtlest wine in the range, but ripe acidity and big, sweet tannins give it plenty of verve and grip. Today, I find this wine fresher and a bit more detailed than the estate's 2000.” (96 pts. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sept. 2004)
