  I seem to recall that other vintages of Ornato have been bigger, but this is nevertheless an excellent Barolo. Lovely nose. On the palate, silky, complex fruit and a very good finish. Fully ready to drink.

  1/1/2023 - wineswithmuscles Likes this wine:

  Huge, explosive and fragrant nose. A blast of dark red, purple & blue fruits, infused by precise beams of minerals and gentle herbaceous, notes rises. Smooth on the palate but with strong structural elements of Serralunga force. Pretty expansive in the glass. Sweet mentholated undertones mixed with hints of pebble and dark fruits on the mid palate add plenty of nuance in this overall round and beautifully drinking 'Ornato'.

  Remains a special wine for me and shared with my family on a sad and happy day
  Youthful tannins and fruit settled down in the second hour to a graceful elegance
  Subtle cherries the predominant fruit
  Some years of life left

  a lightness in an intense way
  the demure cherries are in harmony with italian earth
  evolved during the evening
  ornato has always been in my wheelhouse

  Youthful and old school with more Italian earth than fruit throughout the evening
  It reminds me of Ornato that I had in the mid to late 1980's
  I miss Pio
  Had at my birthday dinner at Chicago Chop House
