Why We're Buying
Widely considered the original Super Tuscan, Ornellaia’s storied history is only matched by its consummate quality. The Bordeaux-style red blend routinely earns 97 to 99 points from wine critics, with Monica Larner of Wine Advocate calling the 2019 vintage “a beautiful expression of coastal Tuscany and the sunny Mediterranean.” With firm tannins and a built-to-age structure, it is sure to please for decades to come. The 2019 Ornellaia contains 62 cabernet sauvignon, 31 merlot, 4 cabernet franc, and 3 petit verdot, resulting in an inky purple hue with crimson highlights. On the nose, the red wine gives off notes of blackberries, ripe plums, black currants, spice, cocoa, tobacco, and vanilla. The Ornellaia displays its winemaking mastery with harmonious tension and precision, making this classically styled Super Tuscan the ultimate haul for collectors and connoisseurs. The Final Sip: The game-changing Ornellaia ranks among the surest things in the world of investment-grade wine. The 2019 vintage is no exception.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2019 Ornellaia is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted here. All the elements are so well-balanced. Dark and racy, with fabulous class and pedigree to burn, the 2019 is superb from the very first taste. Dark plum, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice build over time, but it is the wine’s stunning finesse that impresses most. The 2019 has the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon since the 2002. That very much comes through in the wine’s vibrancy and aromatic presence.
James Suckling
The aromas of blackcurrants, fresh basil and thyme, as well as cedar and sandalwood are so attractive. It’s full-bodied and very linear with tight tannins that draw you down the length of this young wine. Wet-earth and cool-stone undertones. It’s solid and so structured. A classic Ornellaia for the cellar.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a beautiful expression of coastal Tuscany and the sunny Mediterranean. The Ornellaia 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia (a blend of 62 Cabernet Sauvignon, 31 Merlot, 4 Cabernet Franc and 3 Petit Verdot) pours from the bottle with a specific darkness that has elements of both inky saturation and ruby highlights. The wine is saturated and rich—this is something you notice off the bat—but it also reveals a pleasing lightness or grace that is transmitted to both the bouquet and the palate. Dark fruit, pressed blackberry and plum mingle with more substantial aromas of spice, leather and sweetly cured tobacco. The tannins are beautifully managed, and the wine sports considerable heft and density on the palate that drives a very long and pleasurable mouthfeel.
