Parker about Ornellaia 2007
The 2007 Ornellaia is remarkably open and accessible, very much in keeping with the personality of the vintage. Clean, minerally notes frame a core of silky, perfumed dark fruit, mocha, spices, licorice, grilled herbs and leather that impresses for its exceptional length. Tasted next to the 2007 Le Serre Nuove, the 2007 Ornellaia shows more muscle (from the higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon), but in terms of pure quality the wines are very close. The 2007 is not a big, massive Ornellaia, but rather a wine built on elegance and finesse, both of which are on full display. The 2007 should drink well with a minimum of cellaring, but whether it will make old bones remains a question mark at this point. The 2007 Ornellaia is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.

Ornellaia 2007

The Ornellaia 2007 is a complex and elegant red wine made from a carefully selected blend of grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The grapes are harvested by hand and processed under strict quality control to bring out the best in the terroir and the grapes.
In the glass, the Ornellaia 2007 presents itself with a deep, intense ruby red color. On the nose, it unfolds a complex spectrum of aromas dominated by ripe dark fruits such as blackcurrants, cherries, and cassis. These fruity aromas are accompanied by subtle notes of spices, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla.
On the palate, the 2007 Ornellaia impresses with its powerful structure and full body. The ripe fruit aromas continue, accompanied by silky tannins and well-integrated acidity. The wine is balanced and displays remarkable depth and complexity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant impression of freshness and elegance.
The Ornellaia 2007 is a wine that can be enjoyed both in its youth and has great aging potential. It pairs beautifully with hearty meat dishes such as beef fillet or lamb, as well as with mature cheeses.
