| LE SERRE NUOVE DELL'ORNELLAIA 2023 DOC Bolgheri Rosso, second wine of Ornellaia |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ORNELLAIA |
| Very deep intense purple colour. Intense, very attractive, slightly spicy, ripe Damson plum and cassis fruit on the nose with some woodsy, sandalwood, red licorice notes. Dry, medium full bodied, harmonious, well structured, elegant, intense, ripe plum, cassis and black cherry flavours with a lingering, cedar-tinged, bright, sandalwood finish. It will improve but is showing surprisingly well at the moment. The top wine tasted in the April 24th release and for me one of the best yet (out of 26 Vintages releases since September 18, 2004). it has 14.5% alcohol and is a new blend of 44% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot with with lot number L25079 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: A blend of 44% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot, the Ornellaia 2023 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia shows a nicely concentrated appearance and balanced aromas from what was ultimately a very strong vintage. The 2023 growing season saw pressure from downy mildew, but steady coastal winds helped keep the fruit healthy. A dry August followed by a rain-free September allowed for even ripening on the estate's reddish sand and clay soils. Harvest was carefully timed to avoid the risk of overripeness, resulting in a wine with rich fruit, a velvety texture and impressive concentration. (The overripe fruit appears in the entry-level Le Volte dell'Ornellaia instead.) The tannins are refined and seamlessly integrated with no hard edges, while freshness on the finish balances the weight of fruit. Drink date: 2027-2045. Score - 95 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Feb. 5, 2026) |
