Cork broke quickly again, and had to push into bottle. However, this wine is still drinking quite well and has several more years left in it. Decanted 30 minutes before first sip and it continued to develop nicely for another 90 minutes. Strong tannins at first sip smoothed out over time.
The wine looks brick colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium.

Fantastic wine. Required little decanting and the dark cherry flavors lasted for hours. The cork was dried out and broke when pulled, but it did not impact the wine. Much better than the other Taurasi's I have had from similar vintage and same vineyard.

It’s dead. I’m impatient so maybe it needs more time, but it’s been two hours and change. I think it’s a few years over due. However, this bottle wasn’t cellared well over the last two years. Sigh...

Blindsmaking. Kraftig og rik, rognebær og modning. Rikere enn standard riserva

三次,前后几个月,hold up得很好。每次都要醒6小时以上才会显示这个酒的面目。品种典型的砖红色的温暖感觉。还有很强的涩劲。很多沉淀,最后三分之一口感略muddy,因为混有一些沉淀。比较而言,这是个偏lean的年份,欠饱满。
