Robert Parker (98)

Here's an important keepsake from a classic vintage. The Casanova di Neri 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto needs time to open, especially if you plan to drink the wine earlier than is recommended (you're best off waiting five years or more). This powerful wine is packed tight with black fruit, plum and summer ripe cherry. Those dark fruit tones segue to spice, baked clay, balsam herb and gardening soil. The oak is always more apparent in the Cerretalto (which is released one year later, as if it were a Riserva) compared to the Tenuta Nuova. The vineyard used makes a big difference, giving this wine more textural weight and thicker fiber. It's all a question of taste, but if you want power (with 15% alcohol), richness, sensuality and voluptuousness in your Brunello, Cerretalto is the bottle at the end of the rainbow.

James Suckling (100)

This has incredible energy and depth, with a tight, firm and powerful tannin frame that is present throughout. Full-bodied with a deep core of dark fruit, slate, minerals and iron. Oyster shells, porcini, licorice and some cedar, too. More closed than the 2015. Great wine. Try this after a couple of years. It will last for decades.

Winespectator (96)

A dense, racy and expressive red, offering black cherry, black currant, violet and iron aromas and flavors, with a hint of rosemary. This is driven by vivid acidity and refined tannins, which lend both finesse and length. Shows great harmony and elegance.

Falstaff (100)

Funkelndes Rubin mit feinem Granatrand. Vielschichtige Nase mit Noten nach dunklen Kirschen, Brombeeren, Rosenholz, dahinter leicht erdige Tone, klar und einprägsam. Hat viel pralle Frucht im Ansatz, saftige dunkle Kirsche, Zwetschke, offnet sich dann mit feinmaschigem Tannin in vielen Schichten, sehr gute Spannung und Länge, elegant und fein definiert, langer Nachhall.
