DESCRIPTION
James Suckling 100
"This remains a perfect wine with such depth, intensity and incredible structure. Full body and powerful tannins. Yet, there is so much fruit and flavor. A kaleidoscope of flavors such as wet earth, blackberries, black tea, cigar box and earth. A different level. Drinkable now, but it’s one in the cellar for a long time. Why wait?" (June, 2018)
Vinous Media (Antonio Galloni) 95
"The 2006 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova, with its warm, resonant fruit, was a crowd favorite. And no wonder. It was dark, beautiful and highly suggestive of the southern reaches of Montalcino, where the climate and vegetation show distinctly Mediterranean influences." (September, 2013)
Wine Advocate (Monica Larner) 96
"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova soars high and far with abundant and beautifully intense aromas. The bouquet presents a very precise and focused nature with black fruit surrounded by pressed rose petal, dried violets and campfire ash. In the mouth, the wine is precise and focused. All these qualities help fuel a sense of length and balance.” (February, 2018)
Wine Enthusiast 97
"A 'Wow!' wine on every level. This is a lovely, dark, smooth and rich expression that is packed tight with intensity and personality. The biggest, boldest wine by far from Montalcino’s 2006 vintage, this bottle will age nicely and add value to your cellar collection. *Cellar Selection*" (April, 2011)
Wine Spectator (Bruce Sanderson) 95
"A modern version, with toast and spice notes from oak, yet also freshness and a vibrant persona. At its core is cherry, plum and licorice flavors, with a sweet ripeness that matches the refined tannins. There's a fine aftertaste of fruit and spice. Best from 2014 through 2027.” (October, 2011)
