99 POINT WINE
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Fruity nose with cedar and chocolates notes.
Full bodied and elegant, soft and smooth.
Dry on the palate with medium-plus acidity.
Showing black currants, plums, cedar, cooked cherries, spices, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, dark chocolates, peppercorn, pencil lead and dark coffee.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

Rich and fruit forward with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.

The 2011 Ovid has aged exceptionally well. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cedar, mint and sweet pipe tobacco are all very nicely lifted. Silky and medium in body, the 2011 is super-expressive today. It also appears to have reached an early plateau of maturity, so I would not wait too long on it. Sweet tobacco, dried herbs, mint, licorice and pine linger on the refined finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2022)

Rich, sexy-as-all-getout, perfect match for a bison filet.
