TENUTA DELL'ORNELLAIA BOLGHERI SUPERIORE ORNELLAIA 2006

Tuscany.
u. 6 x vts. 5 x marked label. 1 x wrinkled label. 1 x scraped label.

The 2006 Ornellaia flows from the glass in a profound expression of ripe, dark fruit. With time in the glass layers of minerals, cassis, tar, sweet herbs and French oak emerge, adding further complexity. This harmonious Ornellaia combines the richness of the vintage with superb freshness and awesome balance. Today the wine’s sheer density almost manages to hide the tannins, but they are there, and the wine will ultimately benefit from a few years in the cellar. The 2006 Ornellaia is one of the highlights of this sensational Tuscan vintage. August 2009 WA 97

6 bts.    per lot $1,800 - $2,000

Realised: $2,748
