Critic Reviews and Scores:

• Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97 points. "Poured from the special anniversary bottle, the 2010 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a truly outstanding wine that leaves a lasting memory. The wine magically transitions from cherry, spice, chocolate, and espresso in one melodic and continuous loop. It exudes balance and elegance over long, delicious minutes."

   

• Wine Spectator: 94 points. "A muscular, impenetrable red, with tightly wound tannins guiding the black cherry, plum, herb, soy, and oak spice flavors. Monolithic today, this needs time to find equilibrium.

Tasting Notes:
