Winemakers dinner with Ornellaia. Will certainly go into my 9.0+ scoring after some additional cellaring. Still somewhat closed

Bordeaux style blend of Merlot (64%), Cabernet Sauvignon (17%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petite Verdot (9%). Dark ruby/purple color with a garnet rim. Aromas of dark berry fruit, graphite and dusty earth. Flavors of blackberry, black cherry, ripe plums, kirsch, black licorice and iron. Full bodied, long finish and intensely structured. Beautifully integrated acidity and tannins. Great combination of power and elegance.

Quite dark, a little heady. Doesn’t particularly convey a sense of place, and quite international, but well done. Keep a few more years.
