2013 Ornellaia L'Eleganza Bolgheri Superiore from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 93 points. This is the tasting note for 2013 Ornellaia L'Eleganza Bolgheri Superiore from Decanter - with a score of 100 points. Ornellaia 2013 issues from a very 'Bolgherian' vintage. Tempering sea breezes aided long hang times, vital given the sluggish budburst. The reduced crop was a blessing, as remaining grapes could eek out those marginal gains in flavour and aroma expression, and above all elegance. A beautifully compact Ornellaia with a very clear, moreish fruit expression above a nuanced - if yet to be fully pliant - tannic frame. That resolving inner tension and crisp insistence makes this lightly saline red as bracing and fresh as if it were bottled yesterday. 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot. .
