1997 Back to the Future Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Archivio Storico

The famous Tuscan winery Ornellaia recently released a limited number of back vintages from its cellar on the coast in the Bolgheri region. The bottles bear a special label that declares them “Archivio Storico.” Nine vintages were released. James Suckling

Fascinating aromas, with spearmint, thyme and rosemary undertones to the currant and tobacco character. Medium body with superb, engaging fruit, soft and silky tannins, and a lovely acidity. Love the finesse. Seamless. Drink now. 96 points
