A consistent wine that shows spicy, peppery, black olive, chocolate, cassis, black cherry, meaty, floral, garrigue...

The third wine of Ornellaia is very youthful, with an almost grapy, plummy nose with green bean, licorice and oak...

Clean, moderate intensity, modern, but lacking in intensity and complexity at this price. The palate is mid-weight,...

51% Sangiovese, 34% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tight nose, some fruit and herbs, some oak. Medium bodied. Not bad, but it has a distinct green-pepper, vegetal flavour (probably due to less than ripe Cabernet Sauvignon). If it we're $20 I'd be underwhelmed. At almost $30 it's disappointing, especially for a wine from Ornellaia even if it is their bottom shelf label.

I want to say it was just this bottle.....this was not good, colour was still firm but no fruit or acid left, tasted like a 20 yr old wine. Hope the others are better.
