  December 27, 2023 - This was the best bottle of Ornellaia that I’ve had. Came singing out of magnum and wowed the crowd at Christmas dinner. Was it the lg format that made the difference? I’m not sure, but it seemed to start to close down at the end of the long meal, suggesting that there may be a long life left for this wine the larger bottles.

  July 1, 2023 - This has a very dark colour and intense, smoky, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, with a natural sweetness; a profound wine, with great depth of flavour and a long finish. Drinking well now, but should keep for many years.

  January 27, 2023 - This has been a prolific CNY period, where I shared with buddies 4 of my wine heroes.. Monte Bello 2001, Lynch Bages 2004, Sassicaia 2009 and this Ornellaia.
  
  However, this aged Super Tuscan remained restrained throughout the night. Tight nose, blackberries and light leather palate.
  
  Tannins better resolved after 4 hours, dark chocolate mid palate & long finish.
  
  9th bottle of 11, "Of legal age" theme at Casa SKT with Chef LMK. How did I fulfil the 21 year vintage? This 16 year old Ornellaia, and 5 year old Batar!
