Looking for the alternatives to NZ Sauvignon Blanc. - This one is very nice. Good nose and very distinctive. More interesting than NZ SBL Good body. Not oaked at all - just a slight hint of oakiness. Very gentle. Nice aftertaste. Slight bitterness which I like. Overall like it. Some Green Apple-ish tartness on the palate. Some nice balanced minerality and at the same time just a slight hint of buttery. Like it. Not sure $30 is warranted but the wine is very harmonious, can be easily enjoyed without food.

2019 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove

This wine is closed. Need to breathe for a while. I decanted for 30 min and I don't think it's enough. The more time it touches the air the more it opens up. But this wine is still a closed type. Very "not in your face".
I like the the nose better than body but this is just personal preference.
The nose is clearly Italian but not very powerful and slightly subdued. At the same time multilayered with undertones. I liked the nose more than body. The body - tannic, but somewhat "lacks substance", - it is hard to explain. So, - all in all- this is a good wine. Not a wow (!) but good. QPR is not high due to a hype. This wine is not for sipping, - needs food.

Liked it. A good and expressive nose (after 30 min decant). The nose is the best thing about this wine in my opinion. On the palate? A bit thin. Not bad but just a bit thin - such a body is a bit underwhelming after this good nose. But overall I liked it. Would buy again. QPR is OK
