Round and rich, fresh but polished and welcoming wine , almost felt this is really to drink now and would refrain from over aging this ( that been said we never tried an old vintage fo these so is a feel than a data point) . Good wine for sure with a price tag too though. 90

December brings yet another super approachable rock star Ornellaia cuvée, here first go w LSN 2020 (14.5% ABV, 44% M, 30% CS, 13% CF, 13% PV) - shining bright like a ruby in an ever so admirable balanced concentration. Dark ruby, fully translucent, purple rims. Explosive on the nose w deep scents of pepper, dried herbs, cherries, cassis intertwined w distinct earth, graphite, smoke & tar. M+bodied, balanced palate, velvety until mid-palate, banging acidity & layers, closing on an enduring, dry-bitter grainy close.

Opaque, thick bright red with purple, long legs with color Big, fruity, oak Fruit and oak, not quite ready yet, but very good right now Dry, well structured Lovely and long
Would drink again, no doubt, but only if someone else is paying. Might buy at a store and hold, if available, which it is not.

Round, rich, fruity and one dimensional. All in all a bit boring and disappointing, particularly for the price.
