I’m obviously in the minority from reading the other notes, but I didn’t love this wine. Not a lot of structure. It was just weak and chalky to me. Maybe I need to try again.

2019 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia Red Bordeaux Blend

Served at a restaurant in Florence. Younger than I would pull something out of my own cellar, but I figured when in Italy…

Overly ripe fruits and a lack of Tannic structure for me. It’s not what I would’ve expected with the wine this young. Tasted alongside a young Tignanello and liked it much better.

Edit to this note: This was done as PNP. The restaurant was very warm and I am not sure that their cellar was any cooler. This was served at a dinner with friends and not a proper tasting. All of that being said, what I wrote above is what I tasted. I liked that bottle of Tignanello better than the specific bottle of Ornellaia I had that night, but willing to do another taste test! Preferably with a decant, a cooler room and something with some more age.

Tasted for my birthday alongside Cheval Blanc and Lafite. Heavier than both of those. Excellent Napa cab. Balanced with a long finish.
