94 points,"A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2019 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia shows a greater degree of focus and detail compared to the previous vintage that I tasted at the same time. This wine reveals the sharp contours and etched character of the Cabernet Franc, especially with black liquorice and black pepper. The results are linear and pure. Elegant fruit notes of blackberry and dark currant add to the thick layering of the wine."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Le Serre Nuove - a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot - was introduced into Tenuta dell'Ornellaia's range in 1997. It comes from the younger vines in the same vineyards used for the flagship Ornellaia and winemaker Axel Heinz says,"we put the same care and attention to detail into creating Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia."Described by Forbes as an"object of desire"and inundated with high scores in every vintage, this is going to fly off our shelves, especially in magnum format. Rich, intense and seamlessly smooth. Enjoy its blackberry, black cherry, tobacco, roasted walnut, earthy paprika and herbal notes as you wait for the Grand Vin to come of age. Ornellaia is one of Tuscany's most iconic wines and, in the words of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, it's"one of Italy's blue-chip properties". Founded in 1981 by Lodovico Antinori, brother of Piero who created Tignanello, control passed to Robert Mondavi and then on to Frescobaldi, but despite this tumultuous history, its popularity has never wavered. Located in Bolgheri in Maremma, Ornellaia is a Bordeaux-inspired blend and one of the ultimate Super Tuscans. What makes it so exciting is that the blend can vary quite theatrically, making it a many-faceted wine to collect.£9.67 per 100.00ml
