Tenuta dell'Ornellaia 2004 Ornellaia Concentrated aromas and flavors of cassis and blackberry are offset by suggestions of herb, mint and vanilla in this elegantly structured wine, with fine, focused tannins set in a velvety texture ending in a long finish. Rating Dark ruby-purple in color, with complex aromas of dark chocolate, cola, vanilla, cedar and currant. Full-bodied yet ultrarefined, with dense, seamless, caressing tannins. Everything is in the right proportion. Superb. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best after 2009. 11,710 cases made. –JS #7 on Wine Spectator’s 2007 Top 100 list.
