Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2021

The 2021 Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia packs a huge punch. Masses of dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, leather, licorice and cloves saturate the palate. I don’t remember a Serre Nuove with this much sheer power and somber intensity, but the balance is there, especially with aeration. It will be interesting to see how the 2021 develops. Today it is quite the powerhouse. Drinking window: 2025-2036. Score – 94. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Aug. 2023)
