This vintage of Ornellaia has more Cabernet than the 2012, and it shows in the aroma profile, with blackberry, cassis, saddle and dried herbs and spot on Bolgheri earthy notes, and it all is present on the palate, with a long well integrated finish. It’s a pretty delicious wine right now, but it of course will take some aging — at least ten years.
