Ornellaia 2012 Le Serre Nuove (Bolgheri)

Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Ornellaia / Le Serre Nuove

This full-bodied red manages to be concentrated and weightless at the same time. It opens with aromas of blue flower, wild berry and a whiff of espresso. The smooth, almost creamy palate delivers a black cherry core while notes of graphite, clove, ground pepper and cake spice add depth. It’s impeccably balanced, with velvety tannins and just the right amount of freshness. Drink through 2017.
