Oreno 2017 Tenuta Sette Ponti

WinesCritic.com

Powerful on the nose with notes of strawberries, wild strawberries and many white flowers in the background. I like the "core" of the bouquet with notes of blood orange and a subtle reminder of cut grass. Full body, tannins of excellent quality and fine grain and a brilliant finish with lively and brilliant acidity... Imposing.

A fresh yet rich and dense red with cherries, berries, light cream and hints of hazelnuts. Full body, soft and layered tannins and a fruity finish. Reserved and tight. Shows balance for 2017.

..a super concentrated, intense and luxuriant edition of Sette Ponti's Oreno, weighing in at 15% alcohol declared. The fruit is all black and blue, extremely ripe, bordering on jammy, with high quality oak spice lending some relief and complexity. Tannins are broad and supple, abundant to be sure and structured, while acids remain impressively high. Length and depth are excellent and while palate-warming, the alcohol is quite well integrated overall. A massive mouthful of quality wine, tame enough to enjoy now with a good splash decant, but also cellar-worthy for another couple of decades. A great success for the vintage.

6 ud af 7 Thumbs Up. Nøj, det smager godt. Det er igen Bordeaux, men bare med en så lækker og nærmest balsamisk fin syre, meget frisk og mørk frugt, en frisk frugtsyre og så samtidig virkelig tør. Der er totalt stramme og lidt pebrede tanniner, tør, unge, barnlige og juvenile.
Vinen er lidt som at få i pose og sæk … både den mørke, elegante frugt, som man finder i Bordeaux og så en syre samt tanninbid, som bare er virkelig italiensk. Det smager rasende godt og er samtidig en vin, som burde ligge og småsnakke med sig selv i kælderen mange år endnu, men det smager altså også rigtigt godt nu.
