2021 Le Serre Nuove dell Ornellaia

Fallstaf 94 points: Sparkling, rich ruby ​​red with a light violet edge. Noble and delicate on the nose with hints of red currants, ripe plums and rich sour cherries, with subtle hints of leather and a hint of mint in the background. Velvety tannins on the palate, well balanced, with a fruity, elegant and long-lasting finish.

Parker-Laner 93 points: 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 points: A firm and linear red with currant, berry, chocolate and cedar characters. 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.
