Among The Best Ornellaia Ever According To The Wine Spectator
We're getting down to the end of the 2007 Ornellaia and wanted to give everyone fair warning before it sells out. It is truly a spectacular Ornellaia that will be drinking beautifully in just a few years.
The Wine Spectator rated the 2007 Ornellaia at 97 points, their highest rating for Ornellaia along with the 2004!
The 2007 Ornellaia shows much more concentration than the 2006. It is not as tannic or as tightly structured as the 2006, but it certainly is a great Ornellaia that probably will drink better than the 2006 at a much earlier age. It would be best to wait for a couple of years before opening the 2007, if you can resist the temptation to drink it right now. Then, drink the 2007 while you wait for the 2006 to mature in the bottle.
If you haven't bought any yet or didn't buy enough here's your last chance before it's all gone!
Reviews Antonio Galloni Wine Advocate 93 Points
The 2007 Ornellaia is remarkably open and accessible, very much in keeping with the personality of the vintage. Clean, minerally notes frame a core of silky, perfumed dark fruit, mocha, spices, licorice, grilled herbs and leather that impresses for its exceptional length. The 2007 is not a big, massive Ornellaia, but rather a wine built on elegance and finesse, both of which are on full display. The 2007 should drink well with a minimum of cellaring, but whether it will make old bones remains a question mark at this point. The 2007 Ornellaia is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.

A wine that does everything right and puts it in beautiful balance. Full-bodied, yet reserved, silky and elegant, with wonderful fruit and friendly tannins. Best after 2012.—J.S. |
