華麗的 2003 Ornellaia 與 2004 年形成鮮明對比。香氣極為成熟奔放，散發果醬般的深色水果風味。口感飽滿溫暖，是炎熱年份的特徵，但同時展現清新感與持久度，整體平衡出色，餘韻帶有一絲甜美。

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 93 points)
The opulent 2003 Ornellaia presents a dramatic contrast to the 2004 in its super-ripe, open nose and jammy dark fruit. Ample and warm on the palate, it is clearly the product of a very hot vintage, yet it shows notable freshness along with much persistence, great overall balance and a lingering note of sweetness on the finish.
