My first of these. Has the house style, with a bit more acidity than usual. I like the dark, brooding fruit. Still feels a bit compact and needs more time. Likely my favorite Brunello producer, or at least in my top three for sure (apart from the outrageously-priced Poggio di Sotto and Cerbaiona). I still hold that 17 years from vintage is the typical sweet spot to open Brunello.

Ultra tight and super immature. Pino which was an error. Started to show signs of awakening after 2-3 hours but this was premature. If you drink now, decant for two hours minimum. I will wait another 5 years for the next bottle. Maybe in a dormant phase, but hold off either way.

Difficile de ne pas l'aimer car c'est un vin complet mais en même temps c'est aucunement ce dont à quoi je m'attends en ouvrant un Brunello. Casanova di Neri mérite bien son titre de producteur '' Moderne '' mais ce n'est pas nécessairement un défaut, simplement un fait en prendre en considération lorsqu'on achète un de leur produit.

Good, but not to TN standards in a good year. Somewhat constraint in width. Not a nice surprise.
