We have tasted a wide range of the top echelons of red Bordeaux from 2018, the latest vintage released from the big chateaux. 2018 is an acclaimed vintage, but challenging weather meant the producers had to work hard for it. But in the end, the wines turned out very well. Many of the wines we […]

Ornellaia and Le Serre Nuove, the second wine holds the positions
» ‎ BKWine Magazine

Tags: [edit]
Ornellaia has recently started selling its wine from 2018. An elegant vintage. But the vineyard also makes a “second wine”, Le Serre Nuove, perhaps slightly less ambitiously made and significantly less costly. And maybe also a little less in need of staying for a long time in the cellar. We recently had the opportunity to […]

The weather during the harvest in France has been sunny and warm in many places. Despite the problems during the spring and summer, many are optimistic about the new 2021 vintage.
