Tenuta dell´Ornellaia Ornellaia La Tensione 2016 in 6er OHK

Parker: The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a wine of extreme complexity and precision. It offers monumental depth with profound layers of black fruit, coffee, licorice and baking chocolate. I tasted this 2016 vintage beside the less-impactful 2015 vintage (which was reviewed last year). These two editions are very different when compared side to side, and this 2016 release is clearly superior in terms of the quality, clarity and intensity of its offerings. This Ornellaia delivers glossy shine and a polished texture that segues to important richness, concentration and textural fiber. It wraps thickly over the palate, imparting waves of sweet dark fruit and dark spice that linger for many long minutes. This beautiful wine is hitting the market now, but collectors will want to put it straight into their cellars for safekeeping. 98/100

Falstaff: Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubin mit Violettschimmer. Zeigt in der Nase betont würzige Noten, nach Teer, dann Lakritze und Gewürznelke, reife dunkelbeerige Frucht. Dicht am Gaumen, sehr viel präsentes, gut eingebundenes Tannin, hat viel gute Spannung, knackige Frucht, im Finale langer Nachhall. 97/100
