Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
The Tuscan winery Tenuta dell'Ornellaia was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori and in between partly owned by Robert Mondavi. Today it belongs to the wine empire of the Frescobaldi family.
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto 2017
The 2017 Masseto bursts with rich ripeness and delights with its perfect balance. Black cherry, plum, mocha and sandalwood, lavender, leather, oak, forest floor and so much more in the bouquet. Powerful and silky on the palate, yet never heavy; the acidity lends freshness, while the tannins remain polished and precise. The finish is endlessly long. James Suckling, for example, awards it 98 points. A monument to Tuscan elegance. Together with Pétrus, it sets the bar for perfect Merlot with potential until 2065.
