Critics Scores
Wine Enthusiast
Deep and delicious, with an earth-driven nose that conveys quality. Chunky plum pervades the chewy, dark palate, which offers a gorgeous mouthfeel and admirable depth. Only on the finish do you get a slight hint of oak. Overall it’s entirely solid and very likable, but as good as it is, it’s not quite on the level of the ’98 or ’99, which were amazing.
Wine Spectator
Lots of currant and spice, with hints of fresh herb. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a pretty balance. Delicate finish. Slightly austere. Give it time. A slightly held-back style for Ornellaia. (JS)
Vinous
Nothing in particular stands out about the 2000 Ornellaia, instead the whole is clearly greater than the sum of its parts. This blend of 65 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot and 5 Cabernet Franc is a seamless beauty, showing exceptional purity with notable length on the palate and no hard edges.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2000 Ornellaia (magnum) is a pretty, well-balanced offering with good concentration and complexity. The 2000 lacks some of the visceral thrill of top vintages, but it is an excellent choice for near-term drinking. In 2000 Ornellaia is 65 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot and 5 Cabernet Franc. The wine spent 18 months in French oak (70 new) and was lightly fined prior to being bottled. (AG)
