Such a pleasure to drink even it if there is likely more development to go for. Dark berries and oak, almost Bordeaux like. Liquirice and meaty notes. Acidity gives great lift. Next one in five years or so.

Very deep, opaque, youthful, purple. Meaty, smoky, iron, and underneath that, ripe black berries. Dry, fairly high acidity, sour candy, boiled sweets, tobacco leaf, smoke. Tannins still strong even after 1.5 hours in the glass. Needs time. Long finish, but the tannins get in the way of it being pleasant. Leave alone for 2 years. In the meantime, drink Mastroberardino's 2009 Naturalis Historia if you want Aglianico.

Decanted for about 30 minutes. A super young Taurasi, but ordering from wine list so limited choices. I would cellar this for another 5 years before opening. Nose of dark red berries and earth. On the palate tannins here are still grippy but shut down, fruit is dark and the minerals and earth are in equal measure. Needs food and air, but a nice wine.
