ORNELLAIA BOLGHERI SUPERIORE DOC 2010 - TENUTA DELL'ORNELLAIA [MAGNUM, Wooden Box]: TASTING NOTES  

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2010  will go down in history as one of the latest vintages in recent years. After a rainy spring, the hot and dry summer ensured optimal development of the clusters. The September rain slowed down the harvest, but extensive sunny and dry clearings allowed the grapes to reach full maturity. Proper vineyard management and careful leaf removal ensured the perfect condition of the clusters. The cool weather allowed excellent development of the aromatic profile with fresh fruit and floral notes. As a synthesis of a particularly cool and late vintage, the 2010 harvest represents one of the most elegant expressions in Ornellaia's history. With an intense ruby color, it develops great aromatic complexity with notes of black berry fruit, spices, and tobacco. On the palate, it is fine, with silky tannins and intensely pure fruitiness. The long finish is marked by great tannic freshness.
