Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend
Popped 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.

May 3rd, 2014Wow! This was amazing straight out of the bottle...such a powerful striking nose drifting up from the cork. There was everything there that you would expect to smell on a walk in tuscany. Herbs and dried earth...unmistakable Supertuscan. Dark in the glass and almost cloudy...i could drink this anytime and anywhere.

Jan 23rd, 2023Should have decanted this more than 30min. Needed probably 4 hours instead. Seemed very young and trying to reach adulthood. Very nice smooth tannins but still closed...i think this could be alot better in 4 or 5 years
