1998 Tenuta dell'Ornelaia Masseto Magnums - 97 pts!
The 1998 is even better. It shares much of the richness of the 1997, but with more delineation and nuance. The wine blossoms beautifully on the mid-palate and finish, with layers of expressive fruit and fabulous overall balance. This is a stunning Masseto. RP Dark color with intense aromas of green and black olives and rich ripe raspberries. Full-bodied with big velvety tannins and a bold exciting finish. This is very structured. Full throttle.--Masseto non-blind vertical. WS
