This wine has garnered significant praise from multiple reviewers. James Suckling awarded it an impressive 99 points, noting its "beautiful, complex bouquet of dried herbs, white truffles, asphalt, cherry stones, peppercorns, spice and tea leaves." He describes it as full-bodied with "firm, tight and very focused tannins," and highlights the "salty character" and a finish that is "almost endless." Suckling concludes that while the wine is fantastic to taste now, it will only improve with time.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also gave this wine a high score of 98 points. The review describes the wine as one that "impresses from the first sip forward," particularly when given time to open. It features flavors of "blackberry, plum and summer cherry," complemented by "spice, leather and beautiful balsam or medical herb." The wine's bouquet is praised for its seamless transitions and intensity, with "pretty mineral accents" appearing as the wine takes on air. Notably, the fruit is harvested from a south- and southeast-facing slope at an elevation of 250 to 300 meters above sea level.

Decanter, another respected publication, rated this wine at 97 points. They describe the wine as managing the warmth and ripeness of the vintage with "tremendous sophistication." The review mentions "balsamic herbs, Mediterranean shrub, juniper and crushed stone" overlaying layers of "focused, luscious currants and black cherries." They also note its long and "invigoratingly salty" finish.

Jeb Dunnuck, who also rated the wine at 97 points, emphasizes its "beautifully complex aromatics" of "ripe cherries, dried rose petals, new leather, spice, and dried herbs." He notes its "full-bodied richness" and "weightless, elegant texture" with "sweet tannins."

Wine Spectator gave the wine a slightly lower but still strong score of 94 points. They describe it as "rich, boasting ripe cherry, plum, incense and wild herb aromas and flavors." The review highlights its "dense yet civilized tannins" and fine balance, noting a lingering aftertaste of "fruit, mineral and savory elements."

Overall, the 2015 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is highly regarded for its complex bouquet, balanced structure, and potential for aging.
