Parker about Ornellaia L'Infinito 2011
The 2011 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia lives up to the legacy of this important wine, thanks to its extreme intensity and its skillfully crafted bouquet. The excellent quality of fruit stands clear, despite the heat of the vintage, with pristine notes of dark cherry, exotic spice and chocolate. This expression of Ornellaia is composed of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. The results are nothing short of exuberant and this vintage will reward both those who decided to drink it early, as well as those who have the patience to wait. The only slight ruffle in this otherwise gorgeous presentation is the 2011 tannin that feels a touch aggressive. For that reason, its probably better to put the wine aside in your cellar.

Tenuta Dell` Ornellaia
Information about the winemaker:
The history of the winery begins with its foundation by the Italian Marchese Lodovico Antinori. This began in 1981 with the construction of the house in Castagneto Carducci, Tuscany, in the province of Livorno. Four years later, in 1985, the foundation stone for the successful, long-standing tradition of enjoyment was laid with the first wine, Ornellaia. After a temporary change of ownership from Lodovico Antinori to Robert Mondavi, the estate is now owned by the Frescobaldi family, who are carefully continuing its success story.
