Parker about Ornellaia 2001
The 2001 Ornellaia is easily the finest in the history of the estate, warm and spicy on the nose with superbly focused plum and black currant fruit, much complexity and elegance in its concentrated and supple body, and a velvety, enveloping close. It will easily drink well for another two decades.

Ornellaia 2001
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is a renowned winery in Tuscany, Italy, known for its outstanding wines. One of the notable wines from their range is the Ornellaia 2001.
The Ornellaia 2001 is a stunning red wine made from a carefully selected blend of grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo precise vinification to bring out the best in the terroir and the grapes.
In the glass, the Ornellaia 2001 displays a deep red color with violet nuances. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet with aromas of ripe dark fruits such as black cherries, blackberries, and cassis, accompanied by subtle notes of spices, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla.
On the palate, the Ornellaia 2001 is full-bodied and rich. The ripe fruit flavors continue, accompanied by silky tannins and well-integrated acidity. The wine demonstrates a remarkable balance between power and elegance. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and complexity.
The Ornellaia 2001 is a wine of exceptional quality and shows great aging potential. It can be enjoyed now, but a few years of bottle aging will help further develop and refine its aromas and structure.
This wine harmonizes wonderfully with hearty meat dishes such as beef steaks or roast lamb, but also with mature cheeses.
