Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Merlot Blend
Extremely elegant but packs a punch through the finish and the tannins are no joke.

Oct 1st, 2021First day pnp. Nose stil bit closed. Tanins still very present. Solid wine. For now 89. Lets see tomorrow. Second day a bit smoother than day 1. Tannins not that dominant anymore. Good wine, point. No reason to raise the score.

Nov 6th, 2020Winemakers dinner with Ornellaia. Loved it, but also here additional cellaring is needed. Elegance clearly starts popping up! Nice!

May 17th, 2018I’m a fan of this second label. This was good right out of the bottle. Dark cherry with mocha and oak. It isn’t tannic at all, open and well balanced.

Jan 27th, 2018Haven't drank this for some time but still very good. This was a young vintage but opened up after decanting for about half an hour. Could have let it breathed more but the crowd was too thirsty.
