Tasting notes
The 2011 Oreno (Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon-Petit Verdot) shows initial ripeness with aromas of prune, dark plum and blackberry preserves. The effect is soft, rich and enduring. Chocolate and dark spice fill in the rear. This wine will appeal to those who appreciate the round and plump side of Italian reds. It is a fruit forward expression with big concentration and extraction that is further defined by the spicy oak tones that appear throughout.

Mid crimson and manages to be both sweet and savoury in a rather attractive way. Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and a bit of Petit Verdot from reasonably old vines. Very appetising and complete. Good stuff. Great balance. Bordeaux with an Italian twist. Quite a bite on the finish. You'd be mad to drink it without food but it's beautifully balanced. So much better than the Orma. Though made for relatively immediate pleasure. (JR)
The 2011 Oreno wraps around the palate with gorgeous resonance and silkiness. Mocha, cloves, leather and dark spices all add nuance to a core of voluptuous, racy fruit. This is a typical 2011 long on texture, resonance and early appeal. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off the 2011, as it is already striking. The style is ripe, intense and full-bodied, yet all the elements fall into place effortlessly.
