Verkostungsnotiz im WeinWisser:
„15 Vol. % Alk. Tiefes dunkles Rubin. Vornehme dunkle Waldbeeraromen mit schöner Tiefe und bemerkenswerter Frische, Schwarzkirschen und Mokkanoten. Seidig-eleganter Gaumen aristokratischen Zuschnitts, fleischig, mit feinsten Tanninen, delikater Säure und reifer Brombeerfrucht, vornehmer Schliff, rauchig, Schoko- und zarte Lakritznotem im Nachklang. Der ausgewiesen hohe Alkoholgehalt scheint wie ein Irrtum, jedenfalls schlägt er weder im Gaumen, noch im Kopf zu Buche. Schon jetzt trinkbar, aber mit Potential für 10 und mehr Jahre. 18/20 Punkte. Trinkempfehlung: -2020.“

"The 2008 Ornellaia has really come together beautifully over the last few months. Up until fairly recently it was a tightly wound, inaccessible wine, but it has begun to blossom quite nicely. The 2008 is a cool, inward Ornellaia graced with exquisite finesse in its dark fruit, mocha, licorice, tar and spices. I especially like the minerality and focus. There is a fabulous balance between the tannins of this structured, powerful vintage, but with gorgeous fleshiness and pliancy that makes the wine very attractive, even at this early stage. It will be fascinating to watch the 2008 develop over the coming years and decades. The 2008 growing season was marked by a rainy, wet spring which resulted in an irregular flowering and naturally low yields. The summer was hot, but temperatures cooled towards the end of the summer, particularly at night, so important for the development of color, aromatics and full phenolic ripeness in varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is a big, massively structured Ornellaia built for the cellar. In 2008 the blend is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The 2008 Ornellaia spent about 20 months in French oak barrels, 70% new. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. This is another strong set of wines from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia. The 2008 Ornellaia is back to its usual high level after a slightly perplexing 2007, while the 2008 Masseto is another in a fine line of vintages for this Tuscan icon. Readers should be on the lookout for a complete vertical of Masseto, back to the inaugural 1986 Il Merlot dell’Ornellaia, which will be posted on www.erobertparker.com in the coming weeks. Needless to say, it was an amazing tasting."
