Merchant's description
Year in year out Ornellaia shows remarkable consistency and is rightly considered an Italian great. The 2006 is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Without doubt one of the most profound and intense releases. A complex, rich wine with tightly-packed tannins, bright acid and huge length. Tremendous.
