TENUTA DELL'ORNELLAIA, MASSETO, 2003

BOLGHERI

“The 2003 Masseto opens with a huge, expressive super-ripe nose. Ample and expansive on the palate, it displays much opulence in its generous fruit, with awesome concentration, outstanding length and a lovely vein of minerality which provides a level of freshness that is surprising for the vintage. A lingering note of sweetness punctuates the long finish. It is a stunning wine. Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is obviously one of the most prestigious Italian estates.” Robert Parker 93/100
