I’m less certain that this will come together though to be clear

The 2013 vintage was balanced overall without the sudden heat waves we saw in the summers of 2011 and 2012

Casanova di Neri, Brunello Montalcino Tenuta Nuova Vintage:2001 I’m less certain that thisBright deep red. The youthfully reticent nose hints at flinty red cherry, blueberry, graphite, cedar and pepper. Then flavors similar to the aromas, and a tight acid spine and serious but polished tannins nicely extending and framing the brooding fruit notes and peppery flintiness on the long, deep, complex finish. A truly outstanding Tenuta Nuova Brunello that seems less fruit forward and more shut down than usual but holds exciting promise.
