2019 97 Wine Advocate 2018 97 Vinous 2017 97 Vinous Ornellaia es el “Grand Vin” de la finca, con un equilibrio excepcional, potencia, elegancia y un gran potencial de guarda. Refleja fielmente, en cada añada, su naturaleza, su terruño y su distintiva personalidad mediterránea. Aromas de fruta madura pero fresca, realzados por toques clásicos balsámicos y especiados. En boca es rico, denso y con mucho cuerpo, con una textura tánica aterciopelada excepcional. Final largo. *Las puntuaciones varían según la añada. La añada depende de la disponibilidad
Pure delicious fruit expression on the nose, the best and brightest black cherry aromas, so pure and defined. Supremely elegant with delicate perfume surrounding the rich fruit aromas with a dusting of vanilla and milk chocolate. Excellent tension on the palate - you feel this is so direct and pristine, the flavours just driving from start to finish in one straight push but with concentration and intensity. It's not so layered or expansive at this point but so well executed - you can feel the power. Tannins are grippy with ripe blackcurrants, a fleshy kind of texture to the palate with a hint of dry stoniness and salinity on the finish alongside liquorice and clove. So young and too young to drink but this has incredible depth, confidence and restraint. It's sleeping now.
A big, rich wine for the vintage, yet poised and lively with firm, chewy tannins that give form and intensity to the wine. It shows loads of blackberry, blackcurrant and walnut flavors. Ripe yet polished tannins. Give this three or four years to come together.
