Orma 2019

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is a tight and powerful Orma with solid tannins that beautifully frame the fruit in the wine. Full-bodied and focused with intense structure and fruit character. Perhaps the best Orma ever. Give this four or five years to open. Try after 2025."

FALSTAFF: "Glänzendes, sattes Rubin-Violett. Frische und ansprechende Nase, nach saftigen roten und blauen Johannisbeeren, dunkle Kirsche, im Hintergrund nach Tabak. Kleidet dem Gaumen satt aus, viel feinmaschiges Tannin begleitet den Wein den ganzen Verlauf, sehr präzise und elegant, im Finale fester Druck."

DECANTER: "From 20-year-old vines located between Ornellaia and Sassicaia, Orma’s main wine is a blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. The fragranced aromas really stand out here, perfumed red and black fruits alongside spicy eucalyptus. Tannins are present and coat the mouth with dense blackcurrant flavours. There’s power and freshness here, and definitely an elegance to the overall feel of the wine, but this is tight and somewhat closed at the moment. One to hold on to for a few years.
