Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2003, Casanova di Neri
$2,250.00 TTD
Featuring a deep ruby color with brownish hues, the Brunello Tenuta Nuova 2003 caresses the palate with plenty of silky-textured dark red cherries, plums, smoke, earthiness and sweet toasted oak. This polished modern-styled wine offers superb balance in a rich, weighty style that will find many admirers. The tannins are remarkably well-integrated, which is quite a feat in this vintage. To be sure, there isn’t much of what is called varietal character here but by any definition this is a beautiful wine on an absolute level. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. 91 point rating.
