Lot Details

Description

Ornellaia 2006

Bolgheri, DOC

Levels just into neck, excellent appearance

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. In 2015, a wonderfully blackcurrant nose, together with woodsmoke and liquorice. Waves of scent come over you. So creamy and luscious on the palate, vital and sparking on all cylinders. Exuberance itself! Glorious fresh tension. A miracle really and so exciting. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
