Item Description

Own two magnums of Ornellaia 2012 vintage, composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Petit Verdot.

From Wine Spectator's review: "Features complex aromas of dark fruit and spice right out of the gate, with intense flavors of rich black cherry, blueberry and spice. The firm yet fine tannins add support as this builds to a long finish and aftertaste. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc...Best from 2018 through 2032."

From James Suckling's review: "A tight and silky red with compacted fruit and tannin texture featuring blackcurrant, mushroom and bark undertones. Full body, firm tannins and a minerally finish. Excellent structure and mouthfeel. A cooler style of Ornellaia, bringing it back to the classicism of this celebrated region."

About the Wine

Ornellaia 2012 appears a deep ruby, and a remarkably beguiling bouquet boasts rich fruit and spices notes. The palate shows well rounded,full, and generous, with glossy tannins and a complete absence of any roughness. The 2012 vintage adroitly masks a richness behind an expansive, magisterial structure, then concludes with a near-endless finish.
