The Millenium Year
Today's offer revisits the 2000 vintage with bottlings from some of Italy's premier estates. While most are drinkable now, others could benefit from additional time in the cellar.

Gravner Ribolla Gialla 2000

Crafted from one of Friuli’s oldest indigenous vines by iconoclast Josko Gravner, this ’00 Ribolla Gialla will make you rethink white wine. Age-worthy, intense, full-bodied, food-friendly and delicious, this golden-orange wine offers notes of lychee,pear, candied ginger, and maple syrup. The myriad layers give you a new view with every sip. Drinking now, majestically.

HK$680.00

Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino 2000

Under the right guidance, Brunello exhibits an austere character and possess the ability to age beyond the standard timeframe. The 2000 Brunello shows a light garnet and presents a nose of ripe plum and earthy notes such as bay leaf. Some baking spice and chocolate aromatics subtly emerge over a palate that suggests imminent drinkability because of its gentle tannins and silky finish. This wine is showing well now and maturing will continue through 2017.

Aromas of mocha, raspberry and tobacco. Rich on the palate with balanced acidity. Filled with flavors of red cherry and spice.

Querciabella Camartina 2000

Camartina—the flagship of Querciabella—was Castiglioni's first contribution to this dynamic and historic phenonmenon. Camartina continues to be a defining example of the Super-Tuscan genre, a position that it's earned, in no small part, due to Giacomo Tachis' involvement.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto 2000

Over the last several years, Toscana has emerged as a bastion of high-calibre Merlot. Foremost among these names is Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia’s monovarietal Merlot. Despite having debuted only in the 1986 vintage, Masseto is working on establishing the epic mystique of the storied Château Pétrus. The simple fact is that Masseto’s past—however recent—provides just as compelling a testament to the wine's splendor as the genesis of Pétrus.
