Don't think it's going to further improve but will probably hold for a few years. Tannins fade quickly and it didn't need a decant. Great fruit, long finish, drink up

This is so in my wheelhouse it's not funny. Acids, fruit and tannin all in perfect harmony, and to make things better, this bottle was in perfect condition showing its fresh, very pure aromas and flavors in such an elegant, yet understated way. A new producer for me, thanks to the kindness of a fellow CTer. Has another 5 very good years ahead before it begins any type of decline. Brilliant stuff. highly recommended
Served non-blind.

Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium+ acidity and noticeable tannins. The feel is more refined with violets, chocolate, black cherries, herbs, crushed rocks, and incense on the back end. There is very good depth and a very savory quality to it as well.
Overall: This was a gorgeous Taurasi. While it felt like it was starting to drink, there is a good way to go. This received a good 3+ hours of air and showed absolutely beautifully.

Chicago Italian Lovers round 5- Taurasis (Caro Mio, Chicago IL): Nose: Sumptuous and perfumed nose with violets, chocolate, black cherries, red florals, spices, herbs, and incense. The tones are very seductive with very good layering as well.
