As usual, the 2018 Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, and it functions as the second wine of Ornellaia. Aged15 months in French oak, it has a Bordeaux-like bouquet of ripe black cherries, cedary spice, chalky minerality, and sappy, herbal nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, balanced, elegant mouthfeel, supple and nicely integrated tannins, and a great finish. The tannins are beautifully managed, and this elegant blend will evolve for 10-15 years in cold cellars.
