Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, Ornellaia 2008 Bollinger The Wine Detective

The Wine Detective

full of pure citrus fruit with green pepper and subtle herbal hints on the nose

We've all been dreaming of that thirst quenching bottle of wine shared with loved ones so we've taken the liberty of putting together some suggestions

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, Ornellaia 2008 Bollinger The Wine DetectiveVery sweet, ripe, lush and velevety 'California' nose. But with a little more freshness (and obvious tannin) than the 2007. Just slight heat on the end. Sweet but zesty some might think too sinewy but I treasure the balance it gives. Not quite ready yet but promises well so long as it doesn't get too stringy. At the moment there is a gap between all that ripeness and the corset. Jancisrobinson. com (17)
