Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: This estate has a track record envied by wineries all over the world. Demand today for the wines of Tenuta dell’ Ornellaia has never been higher. Le Serre Nuove, a blend of Merlot, Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc and Petit Verdot, is a bright and fruity wine with red and blackberries tinged by subtle oak flavors of chocolate and clove. Previous vintages have consistently rated in the 90s by top wine critics and this 2005 — a vintage that is already acclaimed in Tuscany — will certainly join those ranks. My note: Incredibly elegant, complex, layered, smooth and full-bodied. Food matches: steak.
