Ornellaia, Serre NuoveNA

This also offer very fine quality in an ageworthy package

I think it was

I myself became familiar with the property through regular visits to Chateau Clinet

but they are now all there front and center

Like the rest of the range

More potential

the latter of which really comes up on the super-saline finish that is explosively long

with honeyed impingement both aromatically and on the palate reinforcing the sense of relative opacity and rounded richness that the other Graachers in this year s collection displayed

(this vineyard is worked by horse and plow because there is no path for a tractor)

Deep and saturated

delineated and even more mineral-suffused flavors that possess an attractive muscularity before culminating in a solidly long if arguably not quite as complex finale

Almost unnaturally so
