2003 Cantina dei Monaci TaurasiTaurasi DOCG Aglianico more |
10/23/2010 - amateurwino wrote: 93 pointsAn oustanding Taurasi. Recognizable as aglianico, but as enjoyable as a good barolo or barbaresco. Smooth and full on the palate, with the balance of broad but tasty, slightly tomatoey red fruit, acidity and oak influence in a terrific place right now. |

2007 I Capitani Taurasi Bosco FaianoTaurasi DOCG Aglianico more |
12/1/2014 - amateurwino wrote: NRGrapey and primary, this shows a lot of black cherry fruit with a slight figgy quality, lively acidity and a touch of heat. Decidedly more modern in feel than the Radici Taurasi wines I've had in the past and loved, but this is younger too. Likable, fruity, with a touch of savory earth. Will try again tomorrow night at slightly cool temperature. |

2006 Salvatore Molettieri Aglianico Irpiniamore |
11/3/2009 - amateurwino wrote: 90 pointsTasted at a retailer; bought this one because it does a fairly convincing job of standing in as a cheaper alternative to barolo or barbaresco - round red fruit, full-flavored, with an overall flavor profile similar to nebbiolo. |

2005 Di Majo Norante Aglianico Molise Contado Riservamore |
8/7/2010 - amateurwino wrote: NRCoffee/verging on toffee notes mixed in with a slatey minerality and plummy fruits on the nose. Quite a pleasing nose. Fairly full flavored palate, without being dense. A nice little aglianico; lots of flavor, some sweetness to the fruit, very pleasing. Has a kind of prettiness to the darkish fruits on the nose. Has an ever-so-slight soapy character to the fruit, a floral lavender sense. |

2004 Mastroberardino Taurasi Radici RiservaTaurasi DOCG Aglianico more |
2/18/2011 - amateurwino wrote: 93 pointsSo pretty. Has a floral winey quality on the nose, very inviting. Full-flavored, spicy, medium-dark in fruits, and silky in texture on the palate. Mouth-coating. Delicious, delicious wine. One of the most memorable from Tre Bicchieri. 92-93+, at least. |

2000 Mastroberardino Taurasi Radici RiservaTaurasi DOCG Aglianico more |
12/5/2012 - amateurwino wrote: 92 pointsA little more rustic and savory than the other wines in the flight, with kind of an herby pepper quality poking through. I love this wine, and together with the forward tastiness of the Parusso, this ends up being my favorite flight of the night (a stupendous wild boar sausage (from Trattoria L'Incontro) served alongside it certainly doesn’t hurt!). 92-93 |

2006 Adega Condes de Albarei Albariño Rías Baixasmore |
7/26/2007 - amateurwino wrote: 89 pointsNice, drinkable white - not as overbearing as the Silverado chard i had right after. Pleasing, with a nice bit of green pear-like acidity. Good for a summer quaffer. |

2007 La Parrina Ansonica Costa dell'Argentariomore |
8/7/2010 - amateurwino wrote: 83 pointsVariety is ansonica; upposedly a slightly briny variety with a rich finish. A little dirt, approaching kitty litter funk on the nose; fairly light fruits, a bit of olive. Palate is mineral, and shows some richness. Fairly interesting but doesn't knock me over. A little nutty note too - something almost a little champagne-like here. 83-84. |

5/20/2010 - amateurwino wrote: 86 pointsStainless steel fermented. Interesting nose that has a perfumey but off-putting nose - a weighty dark perfume of a musky nature that I can't quite pin down. Palate is quite pleasing; savory notes but also fresh and lively, interesting. 85-87 |
