  Needed decanting for more than an hour to allow it to open up and transform from a mediocre wine on the first sip poured out of the bottle to the real top wine that Ornellaia is supposed to be! Patience / prior planning will pay off brilliantly.

  Kräftiges Rubinrot, keine Alterstöne. Expressive Nase, geprägt von reifen dunklen Früchten, Weihnachtsgewürzen, getrockneten Kräutern, Pflaumenkompott, blonder Tabak, Leder, mit etwas mehr Luft zeigen sich florale Töne, sehr komplex. Im Gaumen zugänglich, reichhaltig, rund, sehr intensive Frucht, viel Druck, dennoch Eleganz, der Wein strahlt eine Wärme aus, verfügt über viel Tannin und eine gut dosierte Säure. Aromatisch im Abgang mit sehr guter Länge, hinterlässt würzige und dunkelfruchtige Aromen. Ab sofort bis 2030 geniessen. 93 vvPunkte

  Emirates lounge. Tried from two different bottles. Both very ripe and a touch oxidative already. In the glass a dark garnet with an almost black core and a very thin translucent rim. Rich fruit and high alcohol. Hope this was simply a flawed / heat damaged shipment… NR

  Did a head to head competition between 2010 Pasteur and 2011 Ornellia Bolgheri. Two different wines but gave both a 94 . Pasteur clearly held its own. More complex. Decanted Pasteur for 2 hours and Ornellia 1 hour.
