Merchant's description

The 2004 flagship from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is a sublime release in its prime drinking window. Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, it is rich, expressive and multi-layered. A wine that notoriously takes a little time to open up, decanting in advance of service is therefore recommended.
