2021 Le Serre Nuove dell Ornellaia

Fallstaf 94 Punkte: Funkelndes, sattes Rubinrot mit leicht violettem Rand. In der Nase edel und zart nach roten Johannisbeeren, reifen Pflaumen und satten Sauerkirschen, im Hintergrund dezent nach Leder und ein Hauch Minze. Am Gaumen mit samtigem Gerbstoff, gut ausgeglichen, mit fruchtbetontem, elegantem und lang anhaltendem Abgang.

Parker-Laner 93 Punkte: The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a nicely extracted and rich blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This vintage is very generous, even opulent, with dark fruit that is framed by exotic spice, baking chocolate and softly toasted tones from French oak. The wine ends on a creamy note with vanilla and cinnamon. The oak needs a few more years to integrate.

James Suckling 94 Punkte: A firm and linear red with currant, berry, chocolate and cedar character. It’s medium- to full-bodied. Fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It’s tight and focused. Energetic and bright. 50% merlot and 28% cabernet sauvignon and the rest split equally between petit verdot and cabernet franc. Better after 2026.
