2007 Bolgheri Superiore DOC Ornellaia, Tuscany, Italy

Deep nose, still undeveloped, cassis, cherries and a hint of red berries, mineral and herbaceous traces, touch of malt, light spicy oak. Full-bodied, creamy and juicy on the palate, very ripe partly preserved and partly candied dark fruit, mature tannins, very creamy, herbaceous notes and mal sweets, very good persistence and depth, tart roasted notes, very big body, very polished, still very young, quite a long finish.
