Ornellaia 2009 Bolgheri, DOC52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. In 2015, richly and exotically perfumed, with notes of a Moroccan souk! Super vanilla pod sweetness on the palate, and then you are stopped short by the tannic structure - but the tremendous chocolatey finish covers everything. A keeper with an exciting, many-faceted future, given by the tropical elements of the vintage, beautifully balanced by the Cabernet Franc. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9711 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
