Le Serre Nuove 2012 Tenuta dell' Ornellaia

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

The 2012 Bolgheri Le Serre Nuove is a voluptuous and generous wine that bursts forth with wild-cherry aromas, blackberry, crème de cassis, oak spice and smoke. The blend of grapes this year is 52% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 12% Petit Verdot. It awards pleasure and smoothness, thanks to its plump tannins and ripe fruit overtones. Le Serre Nuove shows the acidity and structure for ten years or more of cellar aging.

This is distinctive, with iron and mineral aromas and flavors up front, this red features plum, blackberry, tar and spice notes. On the austere side in the end, but this lingers well. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.?
