Inside Bordeaux
Edges of gunsmoke reduction on the first nose, followed by white peach, nectarine pit, ripe stone fruits set against white flowers and fresh acidities. Always a delicious white wine from Marchesi Frescobaldi, with director Axel Heinz and oenologist Olga Fusari. 25% new oak, 12 months in bottle before release.

Vinous
The 2021 Ornellaia Bianco is alluring. I sense a bit more textural richness vis-à-vis prior editions, a positive in my book. White pear, jasmine, sage, mint, white pepper, peach and apricot fill out the layers. Light tropical accents appear with some aeration, adding a tropical flair that is quite attractive. This is impeccably done.
