Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker and Jancis Robinson

I was blown away by the 2016 Finca Piedra Infinita, a wine I have been anticipating because I’ve seen the progression of the wine over the last few years. They use almost 40 different components to make this wine from small plots within the vineyard, especially the soils they call "supercalcáreo" (super limestone). The other type of soil they use is what they call "gravas calcáreas" (limestone gravels), and they don’t use any of the grapes from the deeper soils that go into the Q range. The wine has reached a stratospheric level of precision, symmetry and elegance in 2016 that is really captivating. Everything seems to be in its place; there is great harmony, the aromatics are clean and pure and the texture is like liquid chalk. There is power and elegance, energy and finesse. This is a really outstanding wine that summarizes the hard work at Zuccardi in the last few years. Bravo! 6,400 bottles were filled in February 2017.

Slightly reductive on the nose at the moment. The palate is just electric and so alive – again that stony chalky texture (typical of Altamira) with splatterings of peppery spice and floral tinged blue fruits and a super-long finish. Very tight tannins still and has many years to open up into the beautiful wine that it surely will become. Delightful.
