The 2019 Le Serre Nuove’s dark fruit flavors are juicy and vibrant, framed by velvety tannins and enlivened by notes of warm spice. The plum and blackberry flavors maintain freshness and verve after the second day, gaining intensity and depth as the wine reveals layers of fresh tobacco and soft licorice.
The 2019 Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia is 54% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot. It has more pyrazines that I suspect will evolve into more cedar and herbal notes with bottle age, but it has beautiful darker berry fruits, nicely integrated oak, notes of resinous herbs, coffee, and loamy soil, and terrific balance. The tannins are certainly present, and this is just a young, unevolved yet still beautiful red that's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a decade.Rating: 92+
