I was blown away by the 1999 Ornellaia. Still fresh and youthful, it reveals a powerful, authoritative personality in its layers of primary fruit, with its opulence beautifully balanced by its big yet polished tannins. Another year or two of bottle age is probably called for but readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gorgeous wine. Given its considerable structure it should have no problem aging for another dozen years. In 1999 the blend consisted of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. 95/Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.

Wow. Currants, berries, cherries and minerals, but all subtlety. Full- to medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish. Complex wine. However, a significant price hike, which follows the purchase of the estate by the Mondavi and Frescobaldi families, is disappointing. Best after 2005. 12,165 cases made. ?JS

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Da sopra le colline vicino a Bolgheri, Tenuta Ornellaia è nascosta tra i pendii delle coste mediterranee. Le fresche brezze marine accarezzano i vigneti e gli uliveti circostanti durante i mesi estivi, mentre durante l'inverno le colline li proteggono dai venti freddi del nord. Ornellaia ritiene che i vini dovrebbero essere prodotti per illustrare l'espressione più vera del terroir originario. La diversità dei terreni della tenuta - marini, alluvionali e vulcanici - insieme al clima marittimo, crea un ambiente in cui prosperano le varietà a bacca rossa e bianca. La miriade di vigneti s’inserisce in questo paesaggio incontaminato come un mosaico, creando un'espressione unica di bellezza, complessità ed eleganza. Tuttavia, l'esperienza, le capacità e la determinazione del team dell'Ornellaia svolgono un ruolo importante nel rafforzamento della qualità e della reputazione della tenuta, poiché è la proprietà stessa che fornisce una fonte continua di ispirazione, suggerendo modi esclusivi ed emozionanti per catturare la sua generosità naturale.
