Nose is ruby/garnet red with slight slight browning at the rim. Very complex and deep nose: topsoil, meat and green vegetal hues that eventually give way to bakig spices, incense and a lovely pot pourri. The nose keeps expanding and throwing off more as time goes by... On the pallet, there seems to be more fruits, hints of cherry leather and spices. It's tannic and muscular and this is a wine that needs food. Drinking superbly now, this wine should hold and dare I say even improve further with more cellar time. Drink now-2033.

This Magnum of Ornato was incredible. Beguiling and expressive nose. Vanilla, cedar, roses and cloves. Minerally, with a dense carpet of tannins and fresh lively fruit, long long long long finish. Incredible winemaking, could easily open in ten years

Dark berries, licorice, earth and black olives in the bouquet. Same on the palate. Good acidity and round tannin. Beautiful wine with a great length and in fact much more youthful than expected. This wine will definitely still be a feast in 2025 or even a few years later. Unfortunately this was my last bottle.

Mixed reviews for me. Definitely better after a few days in the fridge. Definitely lots of high acidity tannins. Extremely robust and a great floral aroma. Dark leather + black olives describes it well. Am not sure if it will improve further, but heck its Barolo and another ten years might just do the trick.
