MAGNUM No.0193 - The 2016 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is a little subdued on the nose with delineated red cherry, crushed strawberry and crushed stone aromas.
Score: 97 Deep ruby color. A kaleidoscopically spicy and broad-ranging nose grudgingly reveals notes of red cherry, cassis, plum, violet, Asian-style tea, sandalwood and hoisin.
This was consistently a perfect wine early in its life but seems to be going through a stage where the tannins are more present, and the extraordinarily exotic opulence the wine had young, while still present, is not as dominant a characteristic.
Rating 99 - There's a lot to say here, so let me start at the beginning. The 2013 Redigaffi 7 Magnum is a special-release wine, produced only in magnum to celebrate the 20th anniversary (which was in 2013) of this iconic expression of Tuscan Merlot.
Special Labels - For the ‘Exuberance’ (L’Esuberanza) of Ornellaia 2006, Luigi Ontani has designed an exclusive label which dresses an extremely limited number of large size bottles of Ornellaia 2006: 100 double Magnums (3 litres), 20 Imperials (6 litres) and a unique Salmanazar bottle (9 litres).
Special Labels - The creation of the labels which dress a very limited number of large size bottles of Ornellaia 2007 Vendemmia d’Artista L’Armonia was executed by Ghada Amer in collaboration with Reza Farkhondeh. Each label forms an element of the phrase Happily*Ever*After.
A limited edition collection case containing 1 bottle of each of the 5 First Growths as well as Petrus, Cheval Blanc, La Mission and Yquem.
2009 Petrus reminds me of what the 1982 tasted like at a similar age.
