James Suckling: 100 Points
This is a momentous wine with incredible power and structure that has so much minerality and crushed-stone character to the black cherries and blueberries. Full-bodied and tannic yet the tannins are layered and polished with a glorious creamy and juicy texture that coats your mouth. It goes on for minutes. Incredible wine. Try after 2025.
Wine Advocate: 98+ Points
Of these new releases from this benchmark estate the Casanova di Neri 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is my favorite wine. This Riserva is larger than life with ripe fruit raspberry cherry spice cola root beer mesquite and cedar. The wine offers a flashy and generous quality of fruit that unfolds over time with a multifaceted and multi-layered presentation. One thing that stands out here is the acidity that is bracing and tart at first but then succumbs to an important supporting role rendering lasting freshness and persistence to the finish. With time you get a flash of cherry and crème de cassis that seals the deal.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2015 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is remarkably fresh and balanced despite its large-scale persona. Minty herbs give way to raspberry and cherry with exotic spices and a hint of pine resin. It boasts depths of silky textures; yet it remains juicy and full of energy displaying ripe red and black fruits laced with salty minerals as hints of cinnamon and baker?s chocolate form toward the close. Fine tannins come forward on the finish tugging at the cheeks yet all under an air of sweet spice and violet florals. As young as this is today it?s hard to put the glass down and I can only imagine the depths that will be revealed with five or more years of cellaring.
