97 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 Ornellaia continues to blossom in the bottle. Dark cherries, chocolate, espresso, blackberries and mocha are just some of the many notes that explode from the glass. A rich tapestry of licorice, tar and camphor notes develop in the glass, adding considerable complexity. The 2008 is a huge, structured Ornellaia endowed with massive structure. It has come together beautifully since the early days when it was a tannic beast. Readers who can be patient will be rewarded with a spectacular bottle of wine. This is a fabulous showing. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033. (Jun 2012)"
97 points James Suckling: "Impressive nose of dark truffles, milk chocolate and blackberries. Full-bodied, with lots of licorice and blackberries and truffles. Very long and intense. Goes on for minutes. This is amazing and firm, with a racy character. Best after 2016. (9/13/11)"
97 points and 'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "The 2008 Ornellaia delivers concentrated aromas of forest fruit, raspberry and black cherry. There are beautiful elements of soft spice and chocolate at the back and the wine ends with soft, plush tannins and smooth, berry-rich flavors. (Feb 2012)"
95 points (18.5/20) Decanter: "The 2008 (54% Cabernet Sauvignon) is denser than 2009, powerful yet fragrant, black fruits, tannins softening to a velvety texture. 2013-2025. (Sep 2013)"
