Appearance: dark purple-red. Nose: very elegant nose of myriad red and black fruits, toasty oak prevalent at present. Palate: medium-high chunky tannins, lovely acidity, complex fruits gradually revealing themselves. Long. Conclusion: this must be a special blend for the occasion (1985-2005 anniversary), as I couldn’t find anything on the Ornellaia website about the constituents or vinification of the 2005. This wine has some of the restraint and elegance of fine Pomerol or other Right Bank Bordeaux, but with more vibrant acidity. Should age very well. March 4, 2008
