It says it is sold out, though, so oh well! Market price currently for the 03 Tenuta Nuova is about $80. As far as I know you cannot find an '01 anywhere.
That is a great price. Thanks for posting!
And it’s already out of stock! Kyle must have gone nuts with the Amex
I think they had one btl
They had 6 bottles avail when it went on sale.
I got 3
Nice score.
I know that it was tasted blind at the 2003 CDP thingie in NY (Coelho put up TNs on Parker) and I was told it was very UN Brunello like in character. Could be a good thing.
Tenuta Nuova is a fairly modern wine, but I find it different from some of the other “modern” wines as well. I think it displays good sangio character of red fruits, dust and leather mixed in with the darker flavors and the (quite copious) chocolate/vanilla/oak notes. I don’t find it overripe or a mess, and I don’t suspect it of having Merlot or Syrah, though who knows?
I would say it’s thoroughly modern and not a great representation of Brunello, but still a very good wine, if you can deal w/ the oak. I still prefer, say, Fanti to it for a reasonably modern wine but would but Tenuta Nuova above many other modernists.
For me none of them hold a candle to Conti Costanti, Il Poggione, Ciacci Piccolomini, Salicutti or Pertimali but that’s just my stylistic preference coming out.
