Wine Critic Reviews
The 2014 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove is a lush and well measured red wine that does not shy back in terms of intensity. Neither does it overachieve in that department. This blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot marches to a steady pace with good fruit definition followed by spice, leather and fresh tobacco leaf. The wine does flaunt its youth and charm. There is a touch of tannic tightness or sourness on the close that should relax within a year or two.

The 2014 Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia remains a distinctly compact, savory wine with the mid-weight structure of the year. Sweet tobacco, herb, red cherry, anise and dried flowers give the wine lovely aromatic presence. Even so, the 2014 is not an easy wine. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later.
