Ornellaia 2004 (6 BT)

Ornellaia 2004

Bolgheri, DOC

u. 6bn, excellent appearance

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. In 2015, a real dark chocolate nose, with blackberries and spices. Total brambly taste, oozing luscious glycerol, with even a hint of orange. Real depth, layers and dimension, plus tempting sweetness on the finish that still remains so fresh. Classic, starry Ornellaia. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
