Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
elegant aromas which start with aromas of plum jam, black cherry jam and
violet followed by good aromas of cherry, carob, blueberry, licorice and
vanilla as well as a pleasing hint of leather. In the mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced
by alcohol, good body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with
good flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry. A well made wine. This
Taurasi ages for 8 months in steel tanks, 8 months in barrique, 16 months
in cask and for 6 months more in bottle.
