Holding up really well with red fruit behind a bit of barnyard. Delicious, but not too much charachter.

Feb 4th, 2017Exceptional #FilthyOldVino! Varietal typicity is often used to assess the quality of a wine eg Does it taste like a Cabernet? My response "I don't care! Is it a good wine?" This Ornellaia doesn't taste like Cabernet, but, damn, it was wine of the night amongst some serious competition @anthdanna Italian Wine Dinner on Thursday! Poised, balanced, layered, the complexity you get from well aged exceptional wine! #yumminesshasnolimits #Wine #RealWine #Ornellaia #SuperTuscan

Apr 25th, 2013Garnet , ruby core , with terracotta rim . Quite ripe juicy nose , blueberry , blackberry , with an earthy , cedar tinged note and touch of mint . On the palate more reserved , with dark cassis , blackberry , scorched earth , tobacco , cedar . Good refreshing acidity , slightly drying tannin. Quite good length, after a while a mineral , crushed rock note . This is at peak now in magnum, for now and the next 5-8 years . Bottles drink now and over the next few years I would imagine
