Critical Acclaim: 95 pts James Suckling, 93 pts Wine Spectator; 90 pts Decanter. 

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2022 displays signature elegance and freshness, despite the vintage’s solar character. A deep red-purple hue and ripe black fruit, spices and lightly toasted wood aromas shine through in the wine. A generous and juicy prologue is ensued by rich, firm tannins, while the finish is aromatic, plush and persistent. The wine already offers a delightful drinking experience and will reach perfect maturity within ten years.

"The brightness and purity of fruit is so beautiful here, showing flowers and currants. Very aromatic. Lots of finesse and focus on the medium-bodied palate with super-fine tannins and a lovely finish. Lively. 65% merlot, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc." - James Suckling

"A smooth red, this evokes cedar, plum, black currant, blackberry, vanilla and resin aromas and flavors. Broad and dense, with accents of leather, earth and tobacco on the long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2036."- Wine Spectator. 

"Rich and oaky, almost overripe, Le Serre Nuove 2022 is a bold but balanced interpretation of the 2022 vintage. It starts lighter, with some cherry and menthol notes, then some darker tones emerge, with sticky black fruits, grippy wood, liquorice and black pepper. Violet overtones and good acidity provide lift on the finish."- Decanter.
