“This is the newest wine to join the portfolio of one of Italy’s most prestigious estates. The 2013 Bianco Ornellaia is an IGT Toscana blend of 70% Sauvignon and 30% Viognier. (The wine does not qualify to be part of the Bolgheri Bianco appellation because the percentage of Sauvignon Blanc is too big.) White wines have always been in production at Ornellaia, but this is the first time the estate shows such a high level of ambition and execution. The Viognier clones were sourced from neighbor Michele Satta. Both varieties are fermented in barrique and then rest on the lees for one year. The bouquet delivers delicate tones of stone fruit and white almond. The wine shows a beautiful sense of linearity and drying mineral focus.” eRobertParker.com #221 Oct 2015

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
