  Wonderful, complete, compelling stuff ! Probably drinking at about peak for me - still real depth of fruit, but no hard angles. No notes taken, but a reminder of how much I love this wine - and this vintage in particular.

  Aged very well. Fruit is quite dominant and forward. Maybe unusually so for an Aglianico. I found it balanced with respect to acid and tannin structure. Although an excellent wine, not one that rang my bell.

  This was a really interesting bottle. It needed 1.5hrs of air and then it had the clearest aroma and taste of mint I’ve ever come across in a wine. Secondary to that was cassis, and some sous bois. It was very smooth, with medium acidity and nice well integrated tannins.

  Another excellent bottle of this and this seems to be in the zone now. Beautifully layered, perfumed, and totally classic expression of Taurasi with notes of red berries, some darker fruit too, volcanic ash, minerality, cedar wood, some savory herbs, tobacco leaf, a touch of orange zest, some pepper. It‘s medium-bodied, with excellent persistence, it has medium tannin that is present but very good quality and there is beautifully high acidity adding tons of freshness and tension. Long finish with very good complexity. A really beautiful classic Taurasi of the very highest level. In a perfect drinking window now and probably for the next 5-7 years.

  Interesting to see the variation across notes. This bottle was all dark fruit and sous bois, low acidity. To me it was fine, but felt a little tired. Bottle was decanted about an hour before drinking.
