Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore 2018 (750 ml) Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes For Ornellaia 2018
With its usual deep ruby-red color, Ornellaia 2018 features a lively and intense aromatic expression, a distinctive mark of the vintage. Red fruits, citrus notes, hints of liquorice and Mediterranean scrub combine to form its profile. With the first taste it is enveloping and all its components well-balanced: the tannins, both dense and silky in texture, fill the palate with elegance and precision. The finish is lifted by a distinct tangy vein that enhances the sensation of freshness and persistence.
Blend: 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
Critic Ratings
Blackcurrants and blueberries are lifted by violets, lavender, graphite and iodine in a complex aromatic profile. Firm, chewy tannins feel polished and refined across a long, graceful palate. The wine captures Ornellaia's signature combination of strength and elegance.
The 2018 blend is seamless and carefully assembled, with Merlot taking a leading role alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Blackberry and dried cherry move into spice, tar, campfire ash and sweeter fruit as the wine develops. Its harmony and completeness should allow it to gain further complexity with age.
