2004 Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore Rosso,
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
„Der 2004er darf zu den besten Ornallaia-Weinen gezählt werden. Er ist ein exzellentes Beispiel für einen klassischen Jahrgang des Weinanbaugebietes von Bolgheri. Die idealen Bedingungen für die Traubenreife haben eine perfekte Harmonie zwischen edler Reife, geschmacklicher Vielschichtigkeit und eleganter Finesse erzeugt. Die Vermählung der samtigen Fülle des Merlot mit der eleganten und komplexen, von einer kleinen Zugabe an Petit Verdot unterstrichenen Tanninstruktur der Cabernets erschafft ein perfektes Gleichgewicht.“ Axel Heinz
Vinous
Perfumed and polished, the 2004 Ornellaia is a fabulous example of the vintage. From magnum, the 2004 is exceptionally youthful and super-finessed, with expressive, floral aromatics and layers of finely-knit fruit. What else can I say? The 2004 is tremendous.
Wine Enthusiast
This is a hopelessly gorgeous wine with so much energy, intensity, density and good cheer. The superb ensemble—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot—delivers chocolate fudge, ripe cherry, rhubarb, cola, tobacco and cedar wood. It’s tight and supple, with seamless harmony and excellent succulence on the finish. But it’s that incredible intensity that truly sets this wine apart.
Wine Spectator
Dark ruby-purple in color, with complex aromas of dark chocolate, cola, vanilla, cedar and currant. Full-bodied yet ultra refined, with dense, seamless, caressing tannins. Everything is in the right proportion. Superb. *Ranked #7 in Wine Spectator Top 100 in 2007,
