Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend

Opened 4-5 hours. The nose and palate were so dominated by oak that it was difficult for me to get past, YMMV.
Very polished and high quality fruit that is buried beneath the surface , will it integrate with the oak at some point and reach its full potential? I am not totally convinced to what degree it will.

In a very dumb and closed phase. Dark fruit core underneath that is trapped in adolescence.

12' Is a sensational wine also.

Bright dark red color. Nice red fruit and balsamic aromas. Fresh and crisp Tannic and very pleasant long aftertaste.

M+ intensity. Red and black fruit. Baking spice, violet, earth and some Brett. M+ chalky tannin and body. M- acid. Tart fruit and spice. Needs a little time.

Big bold cassis, dried berry, tobacco leather and cocoa

Big and showy. The '12 is remarkably open right now. Crushed blueberry, roasted espresso bean, graphite.

stop collecting this wine and drink it!

Only the best.

Ornellaia now has a tricky system of art labels that even the export manager has a hard time explaining.
