1998 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore (1.5L) Italian New A Mercury Head dime is"The wine of the flight, this 1998 is a wonderful wine. It has aromatic notes of mint, blackcurrants, wood spice and cedar. Ripe fruit emerges on the mid palate with fine, silky tannins and crisp acidity. There's dense flavour concentration in the mouth, offering tobacco, clove, black plums, wood smoke and a long, lingering finish." 100 100 Decanter
