Lovely! 2018 opened April 2024. Delicate nose: fresh leather and a hint of sage. Bright red fruit on the front that’s balanced by mineral astringency (which is unusual on the front of the palate).Full tannic structure with a silky mouthfeel. The low notes are citrusy — i detect oranges (which is strange because I’d normally think of citrus as high on the high side of the taste spectrum). A slightly different variety of of high notes kick in before it reaches the back of the palate, but they fade on the finish leaving that wonderful silky smooth feel on the back of the throat. Not a particularl long finish, thought. I would have given it a 10 except that the finish wasn’t long enough — and I wanted more! This a unique and wonderful wine. — 6 hours ago

I pulled something absolutely beautiful Friday night. Even though 2015 was declared as the greatest vintage ever for Brunello, the 2016s must come in as a close second greatest.

2016 Azidenda Agricola Pietroso, Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino. I received this wine as part of the @antica_terra Collective Membership’s second shipment. Antica Terra described this wine as “not the brooding, rich and dense side of Brunello. This high-toned beauty, is ready for enjoyment now.” The nose on this was incredible. I couldn’t help but smile while enjoying this one with a friend.

Love my Collective bottles from Antica Terra. Here’s to not waiting for reasons to open beautiful bottles. — a year ago
