Tasting notes
The 2015 Oreno is fabulous. Rich, sumptuous and yet very much medium in body, the 2015 has it all going on. Silky tannins and juicy, pliant fruit add to the wine's considerable appeal. Succulent dark cherry, plum, chocolate, mocha and licorice infuse this racy, showy Tuscan red. The 2015 is one of the best vintages of Oreno I have tasted of late.

The 2015 Oreno is Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. This nicely balanced effort shows rich color saturation and thick lines. The robust-blended red exhibits black fruit flavors followed by spice, tobacco and crushed granite or limestone. The bouquet is layered and deep. In terms of mouthfeel, the wine offers lots of density and power. It is firm and powerful and the tannins will require another few years of cellar aging before they soften. Oreno likes a warm vintage and it gets that in 2015.
Fantastic Oreno with a solid palate of ripe fruit and tannins that are in near perfect harmony. Full yet extremely balanced and polished. Wonderful depth and power though this always shows finesse.
Almost pitch black crimson. Very youthful, tight cassis nose with hints of cherry and a the merest suggestion of dark spice. Concentrated and tightly knit on the palate, too, and with quite bit of bitter tannins. Nothing heavy or overworked, but the tannins are quite demanding. Don’t try this without food. (WS)
