Pietroso Brunello di Montalcino 2016 Tuscany Italy

Press 98Pts  JD "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is rich in aromatics of black raspberry, menthol, sage, and lavender. It is fruit forward upfront, with pure cherry fruit, balsamic, and black tea with classically structured tannins and acidity that lifts off the palate and a long finish. It was aged for 6 months in tonneaux followed by two years in large barrels"

2016 is a very great vintage, one which has not been seen since in Montalcino since 1990
