Review Date: 07/2023Aromas of blackcurrants, iodine, crushed stone, hints of mint and sage. Blue fruits. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that open with air. It’s racy and very long. Very tannin driven and energetic with power and focus. Muscular and very toned. This is the best Ornellaia for the cellar in years.

Notes
The Tenuta dell'Ornellaia "Ornellaia" Bolgheri Superiore 2021 is the flagship wine of the prestigious Tenuta dell'Ornellaia estate, located in the heart of Bolgheri, Tuscany. Established in 1981, Ornellaia has become synonymous with world-class wines that combine elegance, power, and refinement, positioning itself as one of the icons of the "Super Tuscan" movement. The 2021 vintage of Ornellaia continues this legacy, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot to create a wine of exceptional complexity and structure. The vintage is known for its balance, with ideal growing conditions that produced ripe, concentrated fruit while retaining freshness and elegance. Expect aromas of blackcurrants, plums, and dark cherries, with notes of tobacco, cedar, and spices. There is also a distinct mineral undertone, reflecting the unique terroir of Bolgheri. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, yet beautifully balanced, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that give it both immediate appeal and the ability to age gracefully for decades. The 2021 Ornellaia is marked by its seamless integration of fruit, oak, and structure, offering a long and complex finish that showcases the wine's potential for development. As one of Italy's most iconic wines, Ornellaia embodies the artistry and excellence of Tuscan winemaking, with the 2021 vintage promising to be a benchmark year for the estate.
