More poised and elegant than I recall, but in a good way. A good dose of oak but it takes it well as it already seems fairly well integrated.

#ornellaia rarely disappoints and this is no exception. Delizioso 😋 #italian #italianwines #redwine #italianred — 7 years ago
Wow. Just wow. Had this Super Tuscan with an amazing steak from @cumbraes Dark fruit, spice, great acidity but still well balanced. Thanks mom for the birthday wine. #ornellaia #cumbraes #birthdaygift #birthdaywine — 8 years ago

Big fun for vacation. Huge wine. Open for 90 minutes before first sip. Rich dark colour Notes of dark oak, cedar and tobacco on the nose. Still lots of tannin and despite the considerable grip well balanced and elegant. Truly lovely but can wait another 5 years for the next to see it evolve. Excellent wine - and I don’t say that very often!! #ornellaia — 4 years ago

#overrated tasted it blind with 3 other #supertuscan wines ranging from 40€, 75€ and these and #ornellaia (the best). all the other 3 were better. This was light intensity aromas on the nose, it really the least aromatic and then on the palate it was acidic just a little disjointed and unbalanced. — 4 years ago
