Taurasi Riserva Centotrenta shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of
garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean,
pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of plum,
blackberry and black cherry followed by aromas of dried violet, blueberry,
tobacco, vanilla, leather, cocoa, mace, licorice and menthol. The mouth has
excellent correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced
by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is
very persistent with long flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum. A
well made wine. Taurasi Riserva Centotrenta ages for about 30 months in
cask and barrique followed by at least 18 months of aging in bottle. |
