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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BSW Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47716923867366,"sku":"142234","price":725.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/Ornellaia_1.5L_Magnum.jpg?v=1779832722","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/ornellaia-2023-1-5l","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
