Description

I have for sale one bottle of Ornellaia 2005. This has been stored in a temperature controlled wine fridge since purchase and average over 93 points on Cellartracker,

The cheapest individual bottles of this can be bought in the UK is £139.

Wine Spectator - 95 points

"Displays beautiful aromas of ripe fruit, with currant, plum and blackberry. Complex and full-bodied, with soft, polished tannins and a long, long finish. This shows a deft hand in the winemaking. Best after 2012."

Vinous / Antonio Galloni - 94 points

"The 2005 Ornellaia opens with striking, compelling aromatics that draw the taster in. Still deep, rich and intense throughout, the 2005 has held up beautifully. Sweet herbs, tobacco, spices, sage and plums add shades of dimension to a core of super-ripe, exotic fruit that is one of the vestiges of a late-ripening vintage in which the fruit was allowed to hang until the very end. The 2005 remains an infant. It should drink well for another 15+ years."

Ai Fiori's Ornellaia/Masseto dinner (Ai Fiori (Langham Hotel on 5th Ave)): Surprise wine and a great example of what happens with these wines with some age. It's a bit more integrated, almost sweet, saddle leather, cherry, hints of alcohol, but tamping down some. This still didn't feel really ready to me, but at least it was further on it's way than the '10 through '12s. My favorite of the Ornellaias although that comes more from the extra aging than believing the '05 vintage was better than the others.

5/1/2016 - ERIC GUIDO LIKES THIS WINE: 94 Points
The 2005 Ornellaia is in a wonderful place right now, displaying a dark yet vibrant nose of muddled red fruits (cherry, raspberry and strawberry), giving way to tobacco, and floral undergrowth. On the palate, silky, soft textures ushered in a mix of black cherry and dusty spice, along with pretty inner floral tones. Hints of tannin were still present on the long finish, yet the emergence of dried strawberry and earthy minerals provided a perfect counter-balance. The 2005 is on the verge of peaking.

consistently good wine. What else is there to say. A bench mark. Great with our risotto.

Super elegant on the palate, blackberry, black cherry cassis mocha very silky with refined tannins. Good depth balance and a long finish.95+

8/23/2015 - MERENGUE WROTE: 93 Points
So refined and smooth showing its pedigree, notes of espresso and chocolate with rich blackberry and black currant notes. The merlot and cab sauvignon blend shows at its best and puts this on par with many 05 bordeauxs. Long smooth finish. Drinking beautifully. Tasted blind i would have pegged this as a Pomerol 05.

8/20/2015 - BAM_MAN LIKES THIS WINE: 96 Points
A beautiful, semi-opaque magenta in color, lightening noticeably at the edge. Displays very pretty - though subtle notes of cherries, vanilla, earth and spice on the nose. Full-bodied and rich, yet so elegant in style and weight. Very silky in texture. An explosion of ripe, delicious raspberry and pomegranate fruit immediately saturates the palate. The depth and intensity of the mid-palate is nothing short of breathtaking. The velvety, fruit-filled finish features hints of vanilla and spice and goes on for almost a full minute. So polished, delicious and impeccably balanced. An incredibly impressive bottle of wine that hits all the right notes, with near perfection. Due to its eye-watering price tag, this will never win any QPR awards - but it's still worth every penny.
