Product Description
AG97 "Another dark, intense wine, the 2011 Ornellaia boasts superb depth, richness and power. Here, too, the 2011 has tightened up quite a bit over the last six months. Today, the searing tannins are quite prominent, giving the 2011 an element of gravitas and muscle that argues for cellaring. How long? I am not sure, but the 2011 is built for the long haul. Savory herbs, new leather, menthol and cloves resonate on the huge finish." AG for VM May 2014
WS96 "A dark and inky red, featuring violet, black currant, cedar, sandalwood and iron aromas and flavors. Nonetheless, this comes across as elegant, even as the tannins prove formidable on the finish. A terrific young wine in the making. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot." BS for WS Aug 2014
To interpret “L’Infinito” of Ornellaia 2011, Rodney Graham was inspired by the wine itself, which stimulated thoughts about the infinite possibilities of creation, such as poetry. His poetry, of which “Short poems of merit” are an example, therefore poses itself as a triumph over perceptive ability, the thought that allows us to reach infinity.
Canada-born Rodney Graham (1949-2022) was considered to be one of the leading artists of his time, renowned for rigorously intellectual art, which ranged from photography to video, music, sculpture, pairing and books. Graham’s work analysed social systems and philosophical thinking, with a focus on the Enlightenment and modernism.
