Lot #476. Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Ornellaia 1993

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 92 AG.
". . . just plain beautiful. Plums, tobacco, spice box, cedar and spices come together with notable elegance. The wine possesses exceptional purity in a soft, approachable style. The 1993 is one of the best Ornellaias for current drinking. It is a wonderful effort. In 1993 Ornellaia relies heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) in the blend, while the remaining 17% is Merlot. The wine spent 16 months in French oak, 33% new." Vinous, Dec 2009
Notes: Nicked, lightly wrinkled, lightly scuffed label.
