Description

Ornellaia 2006 

Bolgheri, DOC

Excellent level and appearance; Excellent niveau et apparence

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

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
