Winemaker's Notes
Ornellaia 2020 is an exquisite wine that offers a rich and complex flavor profile with a long-lasting finish. The wine has a deep ruby color with purple hues, and it is visually stunning in the glass. On the nose, Ornellaia 2020 offers a bouquet of intense aromas, including blackberries, black currants, and other dark fruits, with a subtle hint of oak and spice.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the fruit flavors. The black fruit notes continue to dominate the palate, with a touch of leather and tobacco that adds depth and complexity to the wine.
The finish is long and elegant, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of dark fruit and a subtle hint of vanilla. Ornellaia 2020 is a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for several years to come, as it has the potential to develop even greater complexity and depth over time.
Critic Ratings
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 97:
Tasted from barrel, the 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia will be presented in the fall but won’t hit the market until spring of the following year. This is a beauty, so generous and opulent with fully seamless transitions. The wine’s traditional blend is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with tiny percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, although this warm vintage makes do with a pinch less of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit is selected across 107 hectares of Ornellaia vines, although the estate recently purchased an additional eight hectares next to Guado al Tasso in Castagneto Carducci, with terraces and vines aged between 15 and 28 years old. This broad and generous expression has a beautiful quality of fruit and oak that speaks to the very best of Italian winemaking.
Jeb Dunnuck - Rated 96:
The 2020 Ornellaia is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, raised in 70% new French oak for 18 months, with another 12 months in bottle prior to release. Flush with herbs and menthol, blackberry, and cedar, it is full bodied and fills the sides of the mouth with rounded fruit of luxurious plum, black cherry, and toast, with supple and velvety tannins. Drink 2026-2046.
