Casanova di Neri Pietradonice 2006

Undoubtedly the most opulent Super Tuscan we ve sampled this year, this gem is astonishingly rich, deep and powerful. Features beautifully decadent dark fruit, Italian espresso with layers of blackberries, blueberries, cassis, spices, cocoa and sweet toasted oak. Full and velvety, with wonderful length. Enjoy now (after decanting) through 2018. 95 The 2006 Pietradonice (Cabernet Sauvignon) explodes from the glass with the essence of blackberry jam, French oak, grilled herbs and cassis. This super-ripe, opulent wine offers tons of elegance and finesse in a full-bodied style. The tannins are firm but ripe, and beautifully balanced by the wine s radiant, warm fruit. This is a gem from proprietor Giacomo Neri. Anticipated maturity 2012-2026.
