110 points/'Cum Laude,' Luca Gardini: "Hints of cherry and pepper leaves, with touches of iodine. Opens on the palate juicy and taut, then expands in breadth and depth. Brackish-sapid tannins and an officinal trace mark the finish is deep, great drink and long persistence. (Oct 2023)"
100 points Falstaff Guide: "Dark ruby red with light purple reflections. Complex on the nose, iron, dark cherry fruit, rich plum, some lovage. On the palate with lots of salt and juice, complex, comes in many layers, with tightly woven tannins, powerful and with full splendor, keeps coming back, big. (Mar 2024)"
99 points International Wine Report: "The 2019 ‘Tenuta Nuova’ Brunello di Montalcino is always one of the most exciting wines from the region and it is once again nothing short of brilliant. This begins to impress with gorgeous ripe characteristics of blackberries and dark cherries along with warm exotic spices, crushed wildflowers, toasted nuances, and hints of wild herbs that all form the incredibly nuanced aromatics. The palate is medium to full-bodied and remarkably structured with beautifully defined contours. This goes on to impress with outstanding concentration and balance, with a beautiful ripe core which is underlined by a lovely streak of acidity that provides wonderful freshness heading into the long finish. This is an utterly fascinating wine from Casanova de Neri that should be quite accessible in its youth and go on to offer a drinking window that should easily spans two decades. Drink 2026-2049 (Apr 2024)"
97 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate) "In my mind, this is the wine that best represents the Casanova di Neri house style. With 30 months of aging in tonneaux, it shows enormous richness and texture, and the stellar fruit quality appears with more primary elegance compared to the more expensive Cerretalto that is released with an extra year of aging. That dynamic is especially pronounced in a comparison of the 2019 and 2018 vintages. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova has a dark vein of toasted spice, black fruit, ink, blackberry compote, licorice and star anise. Dark as night, it is exceptionally well crafted with a robust delivery of concentrated fruit and solid tannic structure. You can count on excellent cellar potential, or at a minimum, serve it with a classic steak. Drink: 2026-2050. (12/14/23)"
97 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A jeweled ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova takes things to the next level at this estate. Offering a deeply layered bouquet of kirsch, dark chocolate, crushed rosemary, and lavender oils, on the palate it’s rich with flavors of blood orange oils, velvety tannins, warming spice, and a long finish that soars above and beyond, with saline accents taking it to the next level. The bouquet is incredible and keeps going for ages. It spent 36 months in 500-liter used barrels Drink: 2026-2046. (2/28/24)"
97 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Incredibly solid and spicy in its sensory profile, it shows notes of wild violet, hyacinth, green tea leaves, eucalyptus, magnolia, gardenia and ginseng root. Medium body, perfectly ripe, pleasant tannins with fine grain and a composed, essential finish that makes true territorial and stylistic elegance its best weapon. Best since 2026. (Jun 2023)"
96 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is an understated beauty, perfumed and highly aromatic, with a gorgeous blend of dried black cherry, clove, hints of sage and spiced blood orange. It is cool-toned and classic in feel, with silken textures and vibrant acidity that enlivens the core of tart red berry fruits. A cascade of violet and lavender tones resonate over a coating of fine-grained tannins as it flexes its structural muscle, tapering off long and potent and demanding the taster's attention. This will pay dividends in the cellar. Drink 2028-2040 (Nov 2024)"
96 points James Suckling: "Black cherries with violets and other flowers on the nose. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Needs time to soften. Give it three to five years of bottle age. Better after 2025. (9/11/23)"
96 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$170 list] The fruit profile in this red is ripe, with boysenberry, cherry and raspberry flavors that show shades of earth, iron and tobacco. More linear than square, with a steely line of acidity and tannins for support. Though balanced, this is compact for now, with fine length. Best from 2027 through 2043. (Mar 2024)"
