    November 16, 2017 - LOVE me some Casanova di Neri, been drinking more of the Tenuta then the white label, and looks like the 04 is my last go at the white. This 2012 shows more of a red fruited wine than I remember from these. In fact, kind of reminds me of a riper vintage Burgundy from somewhere like Vosne! There's a gorgeous dusty sandalwood spice in this...some white pepper, tobacco, and exotic wood smoke. The fruit is pure and liqueured with fresh crushed raspberry, cherry, rhubarb, pomegranate...firm structure with super lifted acidity, mineral crunch, and dusty spicy tannins. Lot of exotics in flavors...tobacco, camphor earth, slight tar, leather, dried cherry, licorice...pretty florals...but MAN I can't get over how translucent and kind of feminine(for Brunello) this wine is! Love it! Age should do wonders, but air it out for a couple hours now and enjoy!
