Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend
Still very primary. An inky nose with plum, violets, pencil lead, steely notes. On the palate quite intense with hints of mocha and a black cherry sweetness. Tanning are still quite strong and biting sappy on the finish

Sep 2nd, 2023Popped decanted and poured. Dark scarlet color. Almost opaque. Notes of dark red fruit, some mocha and tobacco, some cassis and a nice spice. Great balance of fruit and structure. Tannins mostly resolved. Good finish. Seems to be in a good drinking window. Give it more air than we got.

Mar 14th, 2022A lot of wood, and extremely well made, heavy tannins and needs so much more time. Forza Italia baby.

Jun 11th, 2021Just a baby. Gorgeous dried red fruits and a sharp pang of star anise. Grippy tannins. Long finish. 🤤

Apr 7th, 2021Very precise, focused
Medium body on the palate, but very elegant and persistent
Bordeaux like lacking some weight I think

Off the scales elegant, refined and beautifully lifted. Roses and dark cherry with stems on the nose led a seamless and perfectly integrated Orni verging on Burgundy. Restrained power and overt femininity. So lovely from magnum. Drink over next 5 years.

Nice tobacco notes on the nose. Black cherries on the palate with, earth and a meaty dimension. Pure silk and crushed velvet on the mid-palate. Finishes with hints of truffle - outstanding.
