Ample with a beautiful roundness and particularly fine and silky tannins. There is also a very pleasant acidity which prolongs the finish with great freshness.
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.
The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia aged in oak for 15 months. The wine shows depth, concentration and generous fruit weight that adds to the intensity and the textural importance of this abundant, full-bodied expression. Late-season rains threw some challenges at the winemakers of Bolgheri, but this open-knit wine has emerged unscathed. This vintage was released in September of last year, but I have also written a review in this report of the younger 2019 vintage.
The 2014 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove is a lush and well measured red wine that does not shy back in terms of intensity. Neither does it overachieve in that department. This blend marches to a steady pace with good fruit definition followed by spice, leather, and fresh tobacco leaf. The wine does flaunt its youth and charm. There is a touch of tannic tightness or sourness on the close that should relax within a year or two.
I have always been a big fan of this wine. The 2013 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove is generous blend. The wine presents an intensely drinkable style with soft fruit nuances of cherry, spice, grilled herb, and leather. The integration of those aromas is seamless. In the mouth, Le Serra Nuove is soft, lush, and beautifully persistent.
The 2010 Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia shows off tons of concentration and sheer depth. Mocha, espresso, dark cherries, and plums are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 is a decidedly powerful, virile wine endowed with considerable power. It will be interesting to see how the layers of flavour flesh out once the wine has been bottled. For now, the 2010 is a highly promising Serre Nuove.
