Casanuova delle Cerbaie Brunello Di Montalcino 2013 750ml

94 POINTS: JAMES SUCKLING – A fresh and balanced red with cherry, lemon and hints of cedar. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a powerful finish. Wonderful length. Shows intensity and polish. Better after 2021.

91 POINTS: ROBERT PARKERS WINE ADVOCATE – Casanuova delle Cerbaie’s 2013 Brunello di Montalcino has a delicate veil of smoke or campfire ash that lifts first from the bouquet. The wine offers dried cherry fruit and red currant with polished mineral definition and grilled herbs in a supporting role. This is a mid-weight effort with an elegant and fine approach on the palate.

90 POINTS: VINOUS – The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino lifts up with a classic display of wild strawberries and cherries complemented by cedar shavings and textbook Tuscan dust. This initially soothes with its silky textures and ripe red fruits, but tension quickly builds as brisk acids mingle with saturating mineral tones and grippy tannins toward the close. Savory spices, inner rose and violets linger through the long, structured finale. Give it another two to three years to soften a bit more.
