The 2011 Ornellaia is another gorgeous wine. Mocha, plums, tobacco and licorice blossom from the glass in a rich, seamless wine endowed with stunning depth. Savory notes develop later, adding depth and resonance. The 2011 looks to have a broad drinking window that is sure to provide many stages of pleasure over the next 20+ years. The blend is approximately 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. Antonio Galloni, Vineous Media

Artist collection bottling. Silky, gorgeous, and everything you could ever want from any Bordeaux blend. Would match this up from any major Bordeaux chateaux I've ever tasted.

Deep color. Lots of structure. Deep red and dark fruits and perfume. Drinks young and great with a braised short rib and polenta dish.

Nice dark red color. Very complex with lots of balsamic aromas such as licorice, peppermint, wet soil. Round and equilibrated. Very long finish.

Such a Bordeaux imposter. Beautiful and thick but a ways to go until peak.
