2010 Orma Toscana

There is something so subtle and rich here, with chocolate, red chilies and ripe plums on the nose. Full body with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. This is so delicious now but better in 2017. Best ever from here. A blend of 50 per cent merlot, 30 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 20 per cent cabernet franc. From Bolgheri, just next door to Ornellaia. Review Date: November 2013

Antonio Moretti's Orma seems to keep getting better with each passing vintage, and the 2010 is no exception to that recent trend. Beautifully delineated and alive in the glass, the 2010 impresses for its fabulous overall balance and class. Mocha, graphite, smoke, plums and grilled herbs emerge as the wine opens up in the glass. The tannins are fine, silky and exceptionally polished in this impeccable, deceptively medium-bodied wine. Orma is a Cabernet Franc/Merlot/ Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Drink 2015 - 2030.
