Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Merlot Blend

Did have structure and beautiful on the nose, however missing mid palate depth and length.

Deep fruit, great balance, awesome finish

Bright red fruits, plum, cocoa

Winemakers dinner with Ornellaia. Will certainly go into my 9.0+ scoring after some additional cellaring. Still somewhat closed

Preferred this much more than the super Tuscan Ornellaia.

Bordeaux style blend of Merlot (64%), Cabernet Sauvignon (17%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petite Verdot (9%). Dark ruby/purple color with a garnet rim. Aromas of dark berry fruit, graphite and dusty earth. Flavors of blackberry, black cherry, ripe plums, kirsch, black licorice and iron. Full bodied, long finish and intensely structured. Beautifully integrated acidity and tannins. Great combination of power and elegance.

Similar to the 2016 described

Not my prefered style of wine, but I agree, iit’s tasty and good. Well done, dear Serre Nuove

Needed 2 hours

Quite dark, a little heady. Doesn’t particularly convey a sense of place, and quite international, but well done. Keep a few more years.
