The ‘Ornellaia’ 2007 is a blend of 55% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the wine was
aged 18 months in 70% new oak barriques. "The 2007 Ornellaia is
remarkably open and accessible, very much in keeping with the personality of
the vintage. Clean, minerally notes
frame a core of silky, perfumed dark fruit, mocha, spices, licorice, grilled
herbs and leather that impresses for its exceptional length.” "The 2007 is not a big, massive Ornellaia,
but rather a wine built on elegance and finesse, both of which are on full
display. The 2007 should drink well with
a minimum of cellaring.” Anticipated
maturity: 2012-2022. 93/100 points.
