Antonio Moretti has done a superb job with the 2011 'Orma'. It brings wonderful aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, dark plum, exotic spices, dark chocolate, tobacco, licorice and crushed stones. This finesses the palate with its full, velvety texture and shows nice concentration and balance. There is a gorgeous layer of underlying acidity that provides a sense of freshness and momentum as it heads into the finish where dark fruits and spices that round out the flavors. Composed of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet franc this can be approached early, but give it just another couple of years and you will be rewarded. (Best 2015-2026) - July, 2014 (JD)
