92 points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate “The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is Neri’s modern-styled Brunello. It is made from vines planted in the southern part of the zone and aged in small oak barrels. It displays a darker, almost saturated color and notable concentration with masses of sweet dark fruit, smoke, and licorice flavors that flow onto the palate with exceptional length and balance in a powerful, brooding style”

100 points -  James Suckling “This remains a perfect wine with such depth, intensity, and incredible structure. Full body and powerful tannins. Yet, there is so much fruit and flavor. A kaleidoscope of flavors such as wet earth, blackberries, black tea, cigar box, and earth. A different level. Drinkable now, but it’s one in the cellar for a long time. Why wait?”
