Tasting notes
The 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova exhibits a darkly concentrated and opulent appearance that translates directly into a soft and voluptuous mouthfeel. The wine is built on a solid foundation of ripe fruit and soft tannins. This is very much a wine of its time. It reflects all those ideals—the evident dry extract, the fullness and the oak spice—that define Italian wine from the mid-1990s. But like a time capsule, it brings us an authentic and well-preserved taste of the past that tastes delightful today.

Very deep crimson. Intense, almost smoky aroma. Quite captivating. Smooth texture. Round and sweet. Very chewy tannins and lots of alcohol. Very dry finish. Very distinctive. Has this been concentrated, I wonder? (JR)
