2016 represents another immensely successful vintage highlighting all the virtues of Bolgheri’s climate ... abundant sunshine without excessive heat, a dry summer to allow the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness and concentration, and just about enough rain to avoid stress. All these elements combine to yield a wine that shows lush ripeness and crisp firmness, opposing forces creating a certain raciness we like to describe as ‘tension’.
98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a wine of extreme complexity and precision. It offers monumental depth with profound layers of black fruit, coffee, liquorice and baking chocolate. This Ornellaia delivers glossy shine and a polished texture that segues to important richness, concentration and textural fibre. It wraps thickly over the palate, imparting waves of sweet dark fruit and dark spice that linger for many long minutes. Collectors will want to put it straight into their cellars for safekeeping.
98 Points - James Suckling
An astoundingly vibrant, powerful and concentrated Ornellaia that has a wealth of intense dark cherries, mulberries and plums with hints of espresso, dark cocoa powder and cedar. The concentrated palate is framed in long, regal tannins that bring focus to the plush, ripe and fresh black cherries and dark plums. Extremely balanced. Best from 2025.
