Careful fruit selection made the difference. The wine shows impressive richness and concentration with a bouquet that leans botanical and complex, marked by dark fruit, Mediterranean thyme and rosemary. The nose was slightly closed when I tasted the wine, but it will open. The texture is velvety and polished, delivering beautiful richness with a sense of succulence that feels expansive on the palate. According to proprietor Lamberto Frescobaldi, the goal is to establish a clear through line focused on freshness and balancing fruit and spice while avoiding excess ripeness. This is a meticulously made Ornellaia that captures the vintage with remarkable elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling 98 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestrained and complex, showing aromas of cloves, graphite, bark, Mediterranean scrub and dark yet fresh bramble fruit. On the full-bodied palate, it shines with extraction and suppleness, showing dense, velvety tannins and long, refreshing acidity. Stunning savoriness and intensity with fine-knit depth.

Aromas of cassis, violet, sandalwood, sage, leather, and fresh tobacco unfold with precision. Full-bodied, it is seamless and refined, with exceptional balance, creamy yet structured tannins, vibrant acidity, and a saline, mineral-driven finish. Notes of preserved black cherry and dark chocolate linger through the long, elegant close. This is a complete and compelling vintage with outstanding longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RNDC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686127825181,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1528\/1349\/files\/Ornellaia-Bolgheri-DOC-Superiore-2015_710bac8a-518d-48a3-915b-e6c0eaf4e892.jpg?v=1683099819","url":"https:\/\/killervino.com\/products\/tenuta-guado-al-tasso-ornellaia-2023-toscana-1","provider":"Killer Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
