93 points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate “The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a dark, exuberant, and opulent wine that is teeming with flavor, ripeness, and extract. That said, there is also a note of impurity that I only really locked in on when I went back to taste the wine at different time intervals later in the day and the next. To be clear, it was thereupon first examination, but then it blew off. And then it came back. That game of hide and seek proved distracting and puzzling. I wondered if it was cork or barrel, although it did not behave like any of those things, and my doubt is recorded by the question mark next to my score. Once you get past that little blemish, you are instantly aware of the beauty and depth of the vintage. The wine is savory in terms of aromas and sweet in terms of tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon flavors of dried blackberry, toasted espresso, and cured tobacco play leading roles.

98 points -  James Suckling “The blackberry and blueberry aromas with fresh sage and bay-leaf character are impressive. Stone, graphite, and mineral undertones. Full-bodied and silky and refined tannins. Dusty. Elegance and polish. Shows greatness in strength and refinement. A dialed-in, dialed-back Ornellaia.”
