Ornellaia estate in Bolgheri (Tuscan Coast) has become one of the most iconic blends in all of Italy. Modeled after a Bordeaux top growth, this estate within 25 years has had a trajectory that has put them on course with the First Growths of Bordeaux. It shares the mantle with Sassicaia as one of Tuscany’s true “First Growths”. Prized for its impressive silkiness upon release, with powerful Bordeaux-line structure is a must for serious collectors. While 2017 is the current release in the marketplace. We were able to secure a cachet of back vintages in mint condition. This is one of the most elegant expressions of Ornellaia to date. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 51%, Merlot 32%, Cabernet Franc 11%, and Petit Verdot 6%. A regal and powerful palate experience. Dark dried black cherries coat the mouth with velvety tannins. Structured, but racy at the same time. An amalgam of chocolate licorice, sandalwood, soy, graphite, and espresso add to the complexity. Decant for 60-minutes before enjoying or tuck away for another three to five years.
