"Apple, peach and grapefruit notes mingle in this rich, fresh and balanced white."

"The 2010 Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia shows off tons of concentration and sheer depth. Mocha, espresso, dark cherries and plums are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 is a decidedly powerful, virile wine endowed with considerable power. It will be interesting to see how the layers of flavor flesh out once the wine has been bottled. For now, the 2010 is a highly promising Serre Nuove."

"Fragrantly sweet, floral aromas of red berries and sweet spices. Fresh and clean in the mouth, with mouthwatering, mineral-driven red fruit flavors. The youthfully chewy tannins are perhaps a tad drying, but this is nonetheless one of the better young Barco Reales I've tried. Another year in the bottle may help it develop more flesh and volume."

"Purple ruby. Aromas of blueberry, black cherry and spicy underbrush. Sweet, layered and lush, with cassis and Oriental spice flavors lifted by zingy peppery quality. Really builds on the back end. This is a very impressive entry-level wine: splurge on a bottle for a high-end BBQ."
