  February 27, 2024 - A fresh, energetic red, boasting black cherry, blackberry, iron, rosemary and stone flavors. Reveals assertive tannins that ply the long finish for now, but this is all about balance and definition. Shows terrific length.

  February 15, 2024 - Tasted at Wine & Spirits Top 100, NYC. Again, I suspect this taste was from a bottle just opened with little to no aeration… 2017 was a very tough vintage in Montalcino but this was really non-descript, tannic and unyielding. With a small taste in a crowded group setting, I couldn’t ascertain much about this…not rated.

  December 6, 2023 - The wines of Biondi Santi, with Federico Radi (Zoom tasting): Wine 2: Tasting sample mailed by a wine retailer for a video tasting with Federico Radi, Viticulture and Winemaking Director at Biondi Santi. No Riserva was produced in 2017, everything went into the regular Brunello di Montalcino. 13.5% ABV. Medium ruby colour. Floral notes, red fruit, black cherry, plum, earth, spices, some tobacco, sandalwood, and balsamic notes, with good acidity, ripe, round tannin, and very good length. Some dryness from the tannin. Riper than the Rosso di Montalcino 2020, but still fresh. Competently made. The ripeness suggests that this might not be the longest lived vintage of Biondi Santi Brunello di Montalcino, but I might be mistaken. Time will tell. 91(?)
