Ornellaia 2005 (1 DM)

Ornellaia 2005 

Bolgheri, DOC

Excellent level and appearance, stencilled label, no 429 of 800, packed in slightly damaged and slightly soiled presentation casket, within plain cardboard outer; Excellent niveau et apparence, étiquette au pochoir, no 429 de 800, emballé dans un coffret légérement abimé et légèrement sale, dans un carton neutre

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot. This was Axel Heinz's first vintage. In 2015, a real balsamic nose, very Bordeaux with added exoticism. A totally smooth, vinous "café crème" on the palate, all juicy loganberries. There is a real fruit cocktail finish to this which is very appealing. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 93

The property of a great bon viveur, who had an eye for the best, this collection starts with an impressive tranche of La Tâche, followed by other DRC cases, Château Latour and other top claret, Yquem, Masseto, Sassicaia, etc. The damp in the cellar has affected the labels, but it also means that the levels, almost without exception, are well into the neck, and the wine itself is bursting with health
