which overlies Tertiary clay

All in all a beautiful open-armed & light alcohol expression of Pinot

This Left Bank Bordeaux consists of Merlot

Pretty smart and intense on the nose

like an slightly unripe blackcurrant

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, Ornellaia 2008 Yarra Valley which overlies Tertiary clayVery 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)
