Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Red Wine 2017
"A stunning wine, the 2017 Ornellaia offers a captivating interplay of richness and energy. Picking early was the key.... In the glass, the 2017 offers up an enticing mélange of mocha, cedar, tobacco and licorice, with soft curves that add to its sensuality and allure. The 2017 is sumptuous and racy, as Ornellaias from warmer years tend to be, but it is not at all heavy or overdone. In a word: superb!" 97 Points, Vinous 96 Points, Wine Advocate

"...generous and fruit-forward with dense richness and concentration all driven by the smaller and more compact berry size that characterizes this dry, hot growing season. Black and purple fruits segue to spice, tobacco, leather and some of those beautiful Mediterranean notes of black olive and wild sage. These various moving pieces work together in perfect harmony. The tannins are beautifully managed here...."
