Doppelmagnum Cerretalto 2019 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG - Casanova di Neri

Funkelndes, intensives Rubin mit leichtem Granatschimmer. Vielschichtige und ansprechende Nase, intensiv nach dunkler, reifer Kirsche, etwas Zwetschke, dann auch Noten nach Schiefer und Lakritze. Kraftvoll und mächtig am Gaumen, offenbart sich mit viel dichtmaschigem Tannin, verwoben, viel präsente Frucht, im Finale satter Druck.

Tiefdunkles, sattes Rubinrot. Zeigt sich in der Nase mit enormer Dichte, Zigarrenkiste, eingelegte Sauerkirsche, Noten von Graphit, gezuckerten Veilchen, hat im Nachhall was von Milchschokolade. Am Gaumen mit enormer Cremigkeit, zeigt sich sehr stoffig, würzig, mit feinen eisenhaltigen Anklängen, mit eng verwobenem Tannin, im hinteren Bereich sehr salzig, druckvoll, enorme Länge, ein Monument!

Wow. Seductive aromas of slate, violets and black cherries as well as some graphite and cedar. Full-bodied, this has incredible depth, intensity and purity, building on the palate with focused fruit and pronounced tannins. Goes on for minutes. A wine for the long run. Best of the vintage? Try after 2029.

The Casanova di Neri 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto (with the black label) opens to medium-plus concentration, dark fruit, ferrous earth and black licorice. You get a lot of detail on the bouquet. This is a big wine with all muscle and no fat. It concludes with smoky barbecue, cola and pressed blue flower. These ethereal aromas appear only after the wine has been in the glass for a while. Rich concentration wraps over the palate but imparts no residual heaviness. This wine has great capacity to age, but I love Cerretalto when its primary fruit is still apparent (10 to 20 years in). Production is 9,700 bottles. The Cerretalto will not be made in 2020.

Harmonious despite its youth and power, this red features black cherry, blackberry, black pepper, iron and wild herb aromas and flavors. Though dense, its formidable tannins are refined and well-integrated, while vibrant acidity keeps everything fresh and well-delineated. An impressive version that shows a long life ahead. Best from 2028 through 2050.
