Bella sorpresa, dopo tanto tempo. Il naso, intenso, rimanda alla macchia mediterranea, a qualcosa che richiama il tè, cuoio e sottobosco si alternano a note vegetali. La bocca è viva, inaspettatamente fresca e con tannin fini.

Last bottle. Cork showed signs of heat stress. Ullage was below top shoulder. Pale red in color with brownish hints. Smells like tar and Brett. Smells like some old burgundies I have had in the past. This is not a pristine bottle,but it isn't dead yet either. There are nice subtle red fruits underneath the Brett. Tastes like old burgundy! I wish this showed as well as my previous bottle. NR

25+ years old and awesome! Light transparent garnet. The mature fruit flavors here are amazing. A little leather, tannins are still present and the acids are bright and palate cleansing with a 45 second finish. Just incredible.

I loved this wine on release. I recently bought a few from a cellar for sale. I still love this wine. Earthy, complex, leather, really interesting. The more recent vintages in my view are not as good a this. They are missing some complexity.

Una vera meraviglia. Annata straordinaria per Taurino. Granato con riflessi aranciati. Naso su note di erbe aromatiche e frutti di bosco. Un campione di equilibrio in bocca dove è sostenuto da una inaspettata acidità e caratterizzato da tannini finissimi. Una delle bottiglie più emozionanti bevute quest'anno
