Masseto 2004 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto 2004 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Toscana, IGT Bottled in December 2006 and tasted in early 2007. Real berry nose. You can see the oak. Cassis. Coffee finish. Great concentration, the result of reducing the crop in half. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 987 ♦ 1 mag (owc) per lot: GBP 600-800 per lot: USD 950-1250 per lot: EUR 720-950 This is an amazing time for this great Tuscan property. Its wines are recognised as never before as the best that Italy can produce and they afford some of the great drinking experiences that can be found worldwide. The almost Margaux-like quality of Ornellaia, with its fruit, breed and fine texture, contrasts gloriously with the thicker, denser, exotic Merlot of Masseto. Both wines are many-layered, unfolding on the palate to a long, lingering finish, a reflection of the complex marine, alluvial and volcanic soils of this breathtakingly beautiful area. If ever there were bottles of liquid landscape, these are they! Serena Sutcliffe, MW LYING IN OCTAVIAN, WILTSHIRE Offered In Bond, available duty paid These items are in bond.
