Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Merlot Blend
Was gifted this by a guest earlier and what a gift! Muscular nose, with leather and tobacco and dried herbs. Leathery on the palate, with some tart plums plums and ash on the long, long finish. I find a lot of Italian wines to be very acidic but this is super well balanced. The finish lasts for a good long time. Worth it.

I've always loved this wine & the 2010 does not disappoint. Needs a bit of decanting to open up but when it does it's awesome! Will definitely age well & only get better with time.

Apr 25th, 2014Sweat nose, making me imagine it has already been ready. But initially still feeling lots of tanning. More than one hour, very smooth and I am sure that it is quite higher level than 3rd one. Of course, 2010. 8 year's vintage. Excellent! @1750, Wineplus - , 180430-180615
