The 2007 Orma is warm and open on the nose, as hints of grilled herbs, espresso, blackberry jam, mocha and spices emerge from the glass. All of those notes resonate on the palate, where the rich, expansive fruit comes to life in a gorgeous display of Maremma. Round and caressing through to the finish, the 2007 Orma is an utterly convincing, beautifully articulated wine. Naturally at this stage it is rather bold and the oak remains present, but time will tame some of the wine's more exuberant qualities. This is by far the finest vintage of Orma I have ever tasted. Orma is 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. -Antonio Galloni

Dark ruby. Aromas of blackcurrant, mocha and violet. Sweet, rich and suave, with a ripe blackberry flavor complemented by nuances of brown spices, chocolate and minerals. Finishes soft and long, with chocolatey sweet fruit and ripe, silky tannins. This is an excellent example of a modern, internationally styled wine with an opulent mouthfeel. -Ian D'Agata

What a nose of crushed blueberry and blackberry on this, with aromas of licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. Still very young. A Bordeaux blend from Bolgheri. Best after 2013. -JS
