"A very nice wine drinking in the sweet spot

1988 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Champagne Cabernet dominant at 10 years"The 1988 Ornellaia shows a touch more complexity and delineation than the 1985 in its layers of dark fruit, herbs, licorice, minerals and spices, with a surprising level of freshness and firmness. It is a beautiful Ornellaia with several years of fine drinking ahead. The 1988 Ornellaia is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc that spent 11 months in French oak, 40% new."
