Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

9.3

Only had a taste but the reputation is undeniable. Giving and polished with no hard edges. Definitely robbing the cradle as the wine is dormant right now. I always confuse which wines from this region contain Sangiovese and this one does not. Wears the 14.5% abv. beautifully. Will enthrall with time but patience is suggested. — a month ago

Top chenin blanc with lots of «hope»! Great alternative to the more exclusive french wines from Rohne and Burgundy. — 4 years ago

Robbing the cradle I know, yet have to taste when I grab a trinity.

Smells like roasted animal fat (as a Pescatarian, the same qualities are very similar) and old socks.

Tastes of olive oil (Animal fat) Herbs de Provence, leather, Tabac.
This finishes with medium tannin/acid mouthfeel.
This is a nice Cab Franc. South America shines!

Robbing the cradle. 15% abv. and it’s not shy about it. 80% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc. Needs 3+ hours of air if drinking now. Powerful, spicy, earthy nose. Tannin is wonderfully approachable. This wine is gonna slap in 2030. — 2 years ago

Would it be weird to get this label as a full back tattoo? Like if I've never tried the wine?!

Rías Baixas Albariño 2014

El sabor intenso a chabacano y cebada de este vilanovés es muy cautivante. Los albariños no defraudan, eso para mí es un hecho hasta el momento. Refrescante como la brisa de Pontevedra de su cuna.

The intense flavor of apricot and barley of this vilanovés is very captivating. Albariño do not disappoint, that for me is a fact so far. Refreshing as the breeze of Pontevedra from its cradle. — 6 years ago

Robbing the cradle but this is so damn good! Great texture, balance, and length. Supremely satisfying and refreshing. With time this will develop all the layered joy of great Burgundy, for now it’s impressively delicious. — 4 years ago
