Careful fruit selection made the difference. The wine shows impressive richness and concentration with a bouquet that leans botanical and complex, marked by dark fruit, Mediterranean thyme and rosemary. The nose was slightly closed when I tasted the wine, but it will open. The texture is velvety and polished, delivering beautiful richness with a sense of succulence that feels expansive on the palate. According to proprietor Lamberto Frescobaldi, the goal is to establish a clear through line focused on freshness and balancing fruit and spice while avoiding excess ripeness. This is a meticulously made Ornellaia that captures the vintage with remarkable elegance. The wine was bottled in July 2025 and is scheduled for release in March 2026.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonica Larner, Wine Advocate, February 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ornellaia","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":56865713717621,"sku":null,"price":1320.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":56865713062261,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/Ornellaia_0c53e046-05da-4627-9cd2-093b5b08ea2c.png?v=1634062634","url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/products\/ornellaia-2023-bolgheri-superiore-tuscany-italy","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
