Its appealing and fascinating nose immediately reveals the freshness of the vintage 2018 followed by hues of nutmeg and crisp red berries. On the palate it is well-hatched, generous and measured at the same time. It shows overall great balance between tannic texture and acidity. Perfectly enjoyable even young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWS94\u003cbr\u003e Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e A bright, fruity style, this red offers cherry, strawberry, currant, white pepper and mineral flavors. Reveals almond and earth accents as this extends on the finish. Features fine balance and mouthwatering length. Best from 2025 through 2042.\u003cbr\u003e V93\u003cbr\u003e Vinous\u003cbr\u003e The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino keeps me coming back to the glass to take in its pretty bouquet of dusty florals, exotic spices and dried strawberries. This is like pure silk on the palate, seamless and supple, with depths of dark red fruit and mineral tones that add a more tactile feel toward the close. Balsam herbs, cedar and tobacco all resonate throughout the long and dramatic finale, as fine tannins frame the experience with youthful poise. As is often the case, Casanova di Neri is a master at creating one of the region's most balanced and enjoyable “entry-level” Brunellos.\u003cbr\u003e JS92\u003cbr\u003e James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e Lots of clean cherry and plummy character to the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied with dense, chewy tannins and a long finish. Lovely freshness of fruit here, but give the tannins a year or two to sink in. 40th anniversary bottling. Best from 2024.\u003cbr\u003e D91\u003cbr\u003e Decanter\u003cbr\u003e Celebrating its 40th anniversary with this 2018 release, Casanova di Neri’s ‘Etichetta Bianca’ has been made since 1978. It blends fruit from plots in the Torrenieri area, where the estate was first established. Tasted five months after bottling, the 2018 is still emerging from its wood-ageing cocoon. Cedar and grilled meat eventually give way to wild mountain blossoms. It's angular at this stage as nervous acidity, granular tannins and polished oak wrap around sinewy fruit - it needs time to come together but shows promise on the finish, signing off with juicy cherry and enticing truffle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casanova di Neri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43097237225696,"sku":"111692","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/casanova-di-neri-brunello-di-montalcino.jpg?v=1663883716","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/casanova-di-neri-brunello-di-montalcino-2017-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
