Wonderful aromas of crushed berry, fresh flowers and red licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Lots of mushroom, berry and chocolate flavors.--1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best after . 4,580 cases made. (94pts. JS, Wine Spectator) Tasted: 2007 Score: 94 Drink: N/A Tasting note: The dark garnet-colored 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova's personality is dominated by hard, dry tannin. Notions of sweet cherry fruit, herbs, damp earth, mushrooms, and cedar are followed by an emaciated, attenuated finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. (86pts. Robert Parker) Tasted: Dec. 2002 Score: 86 Drink: 2002-08
