Wine Critic Reviews
The 2012 Bolgheri Le Serre Nuove is a voluptuous and generous wine that bursts forth with wild-cherry aromas, blackberry, crème de cassis, oak spice and smoke. The blend of grapes this year is 52% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 12% Petit Verdot. It awards pleasure and smoothness, thanks to its plump tannins and ripe fruit overtones. Le Serre Nuove shows the acidity and structure for ten years or more of cellar aging.

Dark ruby-red. Medicinal aromas of blackberry, menthol, mocha, tobacco and dried herbs. At once silky and juicy, offering noteworthy intensity to its blackberry and dark red cherry fruit flavors. The savory, sappy finish is broad and vibrant, without any sign of heaviness. A very good wine, but to me it lacks a little excitement—plus it’s too similar to many Bordeaux blends being made all over the world.
