The 20th anniversary Ornellaia and a stunner of a wine. An astonishing blackberry/brambly nose with huge scents of wild herbs and roses. All-surrounding. A glorious 'sweet', rich taste of melting appeal. So ripe and soft and yet with backbone, supreme freshness and a long finish. In a bottle, it is difficult to resist at 3 years old but, in large format, who knows where this luscious Top Tuscan will go? Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Tasting Notes

Very expressive nose with touches of balsamic, herbs and black fruits. The palate really fleshes out into bold cassis fruit but with a tight, tannic structure. The fruit is coulis in character, with dissolved vanilla oak notes. Lovely touches of spice, smoke, even mint shows themselves with a vital core of acidity and great length of flavour. This is a complex and very fine wine that needs at least 5 years to integrate fully, with potential to develop further beyond. In summary, a fine, medium term Ornellaia. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc,4% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2010.
