Ornellaia 1997

Bolgheri, DOC

Slightly raised cork, sign of old seepage

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. In 2015, this smells very bordelais - and a touch Margaux too! Finesse, subtlety and super perfumed. Gloriously ready now on the palate, melting in the mouth with soft sweetness. A wine where finishing the bottle is a very brisk business! All the components are now singing in total harmony. Ends on a milk chocolate note of great allure. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
