in the beginning Very bordeaux alike, but showed its true Bolgheri identity after an hour in the glass. lovely

07' Ornellaia Bolgheri ( Bordeaux blend). Predominately Cabernet. I'm also guessing it's mostly all new oak. Slightly tannic & a little heavy on the oak. That absolutely subsides with a decent decanting . Must decant, so the fruit can move forward in the wine. Layers of elegant & beautiful black fruit, with hints of tobacco & dark chocolate. It just lays on the back of your palate for 30+ seconds. A little more patience/time?? I would love to try this again in 3-5 years. Recommend highly! I've got to get some more of the great vintages of this! My better half..."We need to get some of this"

Plush, like falling face first into a newish, high quality leather coach. Dean de and very ripe fruit with a noticeable influence of oak that is well integrated into the fruit, black cherry, mocha, big, full on flush style. In the mouth that oak character comes through a bit too much and this really needs some meat at the mo

Found this wine really one dimensional and forward, with hardly any sense of place. Disappointing

Still young but graceful!! Can be drunk but still full of fruit. Background though of tobacco dipped in honey :). Need 10-15 more years
