Heiner Lobenberg über:
Ornellaia 2019

97–98+
/100

Lobenberg: Ornellaia, der nach Sassicaia zweite ganz große Maremma-Wein, könnte es blind mit einem großem Bordelaiser aufnehmen, keine Frage. Im Temperament bleibt er aber doch Italiener. Intensives Rot. Duftet nach vollreifen und frischen roten Früchten, leicht balsamisch, auch dezent neues Holz. Am Gaumen wohlstrukturiert, immens konzentriert. Bleibt sehr lange am Gaumen und besitzt diese feine Trüffelnote und Würze. Sehr geschliffen feines Tannin. 2018 ist sicher mit 2016 der beste bisher erzeugte Jahrgang. 97-98+/100

Jane Anson über: Ornellaia

-- Jane Anson: Charred caramel and liquorice aromatics, with sappy acidity accompanying generous olive tapenade, blackberry and raspberry fruits on the opening beats. Deceptively silky tannins, they are tactile and supple at first then close in through the mid palate, revealing a more serious Ornellaia with layers of graphite, savoury cassis, sage, bay leaf, underbrush and white truffle spices. A touch of sweet salted caramel returns after half an hour in the glass, this is well structured and will be giving its best after five or six years in bottle, and for several decades. A hot dry summer followed by cooler weather during harvest has given finesse and complexity, and a wine to savour. All varieties are aged separately for 12 months then blended and then put back in barrel for 6 months, followed by 12 months in bottle. 70% new oak. Director Axel Heinz, oenologist Olga Fusari. 98/100

Falstaff über: Ornellaia

-- Falstaff: Sattes Rubin-Violett. Sehr vielschichtige Nase mit Noten nach Brombeere, Cassis und Holunderbeere, dann feine Gewürze, etwas Zimt, Kardamom und Zedernholz. Geschliffen und fein am Gaumen, öffnet sich mit viel feinmaschigem Tannin, reife Beerenfrucht, im hinteren Bereich ein Feuerwerk an Gewürzen, feiner Fruchtschmelz. 98/100

Galloni über: Ornellaia

-- Galloni: The 2019 Ornellaia is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted here. All the elements are so well-balanced. Dark and racy, with fabulous class and pedigree to burn, the 2019 is superb from the very first taste. Dark plum, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice build over time, but it is the wine’s stunning finesse that impresses most. The 2019 has the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon since the 2002. That very much comes through in the wine’s vibrancy and aromatic presence. 97+/100

Weinwisser über: Ornellaia

-- Weinwisser: Dieser Ornellaia besticht schon im Duft mit einem eher kühlen, eleganten Bouquet, also eher im vornehmem Bordeaux-Style statt wie früher „kalifornisch“. Dabei bleibt er seiner extrem würzig-ätherischen Ader mit herrlich mediterraner Macchia, balsamischen Noten und reifen roten und blauen Früchten treu, ist aber in der Anmutung eher auf Eleganz und Frische aus als auf Konzentration und Druck. Am Gaumen enorm saftig mit prägnanter Dichte und zupackenden, aber hoch elaborierten, engmaschigen Tanninen, eine feine Säure lässt ihn seidig-elegant und doch auch lebendig wirken. Das erinnert nicht nur Axel Heinz an 2015 und 2007. 19+/20

Jeb Dunnuck über: Ornellaia

-- Jeb Dunnuck: There is more emphasis on the Cabernet Sauvignon in the 2019 vintage, with the highest percentage in the past 20 years contributing to 62% of the blend. Leaning more into the red-fruited spectrum, the 2019 Ornellaia is outstanding in its balance between its richness and its tension, with layers of fresh menthol, macchia (the Tuscan equivalent of the French garrigue), redcurrant, and fresh roses. It is full bodied and long, with blackberry, plum, dusty earth, and long fruit on the finish. In contrast to the 2020, it has a more angular and direct nature, with powerful mineral richness and purity of fruit. Full and structured without lacking for elegance, it should come as no surprise that this will be a wine to cellar and go the distance over the coming decades. 97+/100

Suckling über: Ornellaia

-- Suckling: The aromas of blackcurrants, fresh basil and thyme, as well as cedar and sandalwood are so attractive. It’s full-bodied and very linear with tight tannins that draw you down the length of this young wine. Wet-earth and cool-stone undertones. It’s solid and so structured. A classic Ornellaia for the cellar. Try after 2027. 97/100

Parker über: Ornellaia

-- Parker: 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. 97/100

Decanter über: Ornellaia

-- Decanter: Ornellaia 2019 seems to be a return to the past: we must go back to the 2002 vintage to find a blend of Ornellaia with more than 60% of Cabernet Sauvignon. In the 2019 there is 62% of it to be precise, with 31% of Merlot, 4% of Petit Verdot and 3% of Cabernet Franc. It's a throwback which I like - compared, for example, with the Merlot-based 2018, even if it compensates the slightly lower proportion of Cabernet Franc. 'The vintage was delayed by a cool and rainy spring with flowering 10 days later than average, but the harvest finished one week earlier,' said Axel Heinz, managing director of Ornellaia. Despite the shorter growing season, 2019 was a powerful vintage with a dry and warm summer 2°C higher than the average. Ornellaia’s team defined it as 'Il Vigore', which refers to its strength. Restrained bramble fruits are enhanced by earthy tones, walnut husk and Mediterranean herbs, with a whiff of dry mushrooms and the first hint of balsamic notes. The attack is velvety with great mid-palate extraction. The tannins are very ripe and there's a refreshing acidity, but what is to be underlined is the clear cut of this wine, its woven structure and the savoury energy on the finish, typical of the climate of Bolgheri. 97/100

Vinum über: Ornellaia

-- Vinum: Beim ersten Anschnuppern noch verschlossen, mit der Belüftung steigern sich die fruchtigen und balsamischen Facetten zu einem herzhaften Potpourri: Schwarze Johannisbeeren, Würze, Leder; der Ansatz mit Verve, die Gerbstoffe feinkörnig, anhaltend und vielschichtig das Finale. Überzeugt mit seiner Noblesse und Fülle, mit 'Il Vigore' - Kraft - umschreibt das Weingut den Jahrgang selbst. 19/20

Wine Spectator über: Ornellaia

-- Wine Spectator: A youthful red, concentrated and balanced, with blackberry, plum, earth and spice flavors gaining lift from the vibrant structure, while tannins envelop the lively fruit components. The finish is shored up by fine-grained tannins. This has all the components in the right place. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2043. 96/100
