Le Serre Nuove 2014 Tenuta dell' Ornellaia

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (90)

The 2014 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove is a lush and well measured red wine that does not shy back in terms of intensity. Neither does it overachieve in that department. This blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot marches to a steady pace with good fruit definition followed by spice, leather and fresh tobacco leaf. The wine does flaunt its youth and charm. There is a touch of tannic tightness or sourness on the close that should relax within a year or two.

I tasted this second wine of Ornellaia from a difficult vintage just after a succession of red bordeaux to see how this Maremma Bordeaux blend - admittedly much more expensive - would shape up and it looked pretty snazzy. In no way is this a concentrated vintage but this 2014 has Italian brio and tang and beautifully handled tannins. The product of relative young vines, this particular vintage is for early drinking but it does taste luxurious. Wonderful persistence and restraint.
