Parker about Ornellaia "Il Vigore" 2019
This is a beautiful expression of coastal Tuscany and the sunny Mediterranean. The Ornellaia 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia (a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot) pours from the bottle with a specific darkness that has elements of both inky saturation and ruby highlights. The wine is saturated and rich—this is something you notice off the bat—but it also reveals a pleasing lightness or grace that is transmitted to both the bouquet and the palate. Dark fruit, pressed blackberry and plum mingle with more substantial aromas of spice, leather and sweetly cured tobacco. The tannins are beautifully managed, and the wine sports considerable heft and density on the palate that drives a very long and pleasurable mouthfeel.

Ornellaia "Il Vigore" 2019

The 2019 Ornellaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes. This wine was produced in a vintage known for its excellent quality and ripening conditions.
In the glass, the 2019 Ornellaia presents a deep ruby red color with violet reflections. The bouquet is complex and intense, with aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackcurrants, blackberries, and cherries, accompanied by notes of spices, tobacco, and a subtle oak note.
On the palate, the 2019 Ornellaia displays remarkable richness and concentration. The tannins are ripe and supple, giving the wine a pleasant texture. The fruit flavors continue on the palate, developing impressive depth and complexity. The wine demonstrates a good balance between freshness, structure, and finesse. The finish is long and leaves a lasting impression.
The 2019 Ornellaia is a wine of exceptional quality and shows great aging potential. It can be enjoyed now, but will benefit from further bottle aging to further develop its aromas and structure.
This wine harmonizes wonderfully with hearty meat dishes such as beef steaks or lamb dishes, but also with mature cheeses.
