(95 JD) This is one of the great vintages for this cuvee and would be a wine for lovers of Bordeaux. The 2021 Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia sports a saturated red hue and opens to a great layered and harmonious nose, with aromas of kirsch, leather, fresh Mediterranean herbs, and crushed flowers that all resonate together with wonderful purity and depth. It's open and generous on the palate, with refined, polished tannins, outstanding length, and refreshing acidity that's seamlessly woven into the wine. Boy, is this hard to resist now and is a truly stunning wine from recently departed winemaker Olga Fusari. Bravo. Stash as much of this as you can away - it's one for the ages. A great feather in the cap for Axel Heinz as well, it can only increase anticipation of the house's top label for next year. Bravo tutti.
