Le Serre Nuove dell’ Ornellaia 2020 (OWC 6)

Description

By Vinous in 2023 (AG93)

The 2020 Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a very pretty and elegant wine. The aromatics alone are beguiling. Crushed flowers, spice, menthol, mocha, dark red cherry and cedar all grace this super-expressive, mid-weight Serre Nuove. The 2020 is a wine of total harmony and balance.

The Ornellaia 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia (a proprietary blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is a generous and darkly toned red blend that has the extra fruit fiber, sweetness and generous plumpness of a warm vintage. The fullness of the fruit is on full display, but in a very relaxed and natural manner. The wine never feels like too much. The tannins are yielding and velvety, and this purebred Tuscan red wraps thickly over the palate. It’s poised for near- and medium-term drinking.

What draws me to Ornellaia? It’s rooted in its mastery of details. Even within its second label, I can clearly discern its aura of “serenity and equanimity.” The multi-layered body flows a gentle stream, gradually unfolding its complexities. As it lingers, it’s delicately adorned with the herbal Balsamic and tomato leaves. In this manner, I discover within the already luscious body a wealth of richer nuances. Only a winemaker attuned to aesthetics can fashion such a second label wine.

This muscular red is saturated with cherry, plum, vanilla and earth flavors. As solid and sinewy as the tannic structure is, the fruit matches it step by step on the long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2043. 3,000 cases imported.
