2006 Bolgheri Superiore DOC Ornellaia, Tuscany, Italy

Name: 2006 Bolgheri Superiore DOC Ornellaia, Tuscany, Italy

Rating: 92 (1 reviews)

Deep nose, partly preserved black berries, cherries and some red berries, animal notes and some spicy oak, herbaceous and cool mineral notes in the background. Full-bodied and juicy on the palate, surprisingly cool in spite of the noticeable alcohol, dark fruit, elegant acid bite, fairly prominent, mouth-filling tannins, but only slightly astringent, some oak, very good persistence and depth, mineral backbone, still very young, long finish.
