James Suckling: 98 Points
This is refined and, at the same time, structured. Shows balance and length. Full-bodied, savory, fruity and supple. Classically styled Ornellaia. Range 97-98
Vinous: 97 Points
The 2018 Ornellaia is an introvert at this stage. Medium in body with terrific persistence and impeccable balance the 2018 is not in any mood to show all its cards today. Hints of red berry fruit mocha spice licorice and dried flowers emerge with a bit of coaxing. I won’t be surprised to see it put on weight with more time in bottle. There is certainly plenty to look forward to. Readers should expect a silky aromatic Ornellaia in line with vintages such as 2004 that are more about finesse than raw power. This is the first time in which Merlot drives the blend in Ornellaia. Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: December 2020
