Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia
Toscana, IGT
u. bn, slight signs of old seepage
At 14 years old, a fantastic bouquet of blueberries and spice - we decanted it just over an hour before drinking. There is a 'Pétrus connection' - it tasted a bit like Pétrus 1971 when it was young. But Masseto never tastes like Le Pin! Multi-layered with a flavour of spiced chocolate and, in this vintage, great fresh attack on the finish. A dose of Italian sun and genius. We drank it with osso buco. Serena Sutcliffe MW
