2017 Ornellaia, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia (6 x Bottle)
A stunning wine, the 2017 Ornellaia offers a captivating interplay of richness and energy. Picking early was the key. Young vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc were harvested in August for the first time ever. 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!

The 2017 Ornellaia is ripe, fleshy and totally seductive. Soft contours and generous, radiant fruit, give the 2017 much of its immediacy and sheer appeal. I tasted the 2017 from a core blend that is extremely promising. Simply put, the 2017 is shaping up to be a real beauty.
