Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia

Toscana, IGT

u. 6bn, 1 slightly scuffed label

Wonderfully vibrant nose of loganberries beginning to mature. An amazing taste of violets on the palate. Great liqueur qualities. Thick, dense texture. Macerated fruit and even superripe at the end. In 2013 and from double magnum, this is superb, inky, irony and 'iodé' from the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea. Great attack and life runs through this wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
