September 11, 2021 - Slow ox’d for 5 hours. Really helped balance the fruit and earthy notes with the fairly assertive tannins. This wine was perfect with a seared pork chop and roasted potatoes.
Fantastic nose: Dark fruit, pronounced licorice note, mushroom, and balsamic on the nose.
Plum and dried strawberry on the palate, quickly followed by the licorice note that adds a intensity to the mid palate, but the back end of this wine could be better. Fruit falls off and it’s a touch hot combined with the oak spice make it slight harsh. Not noticeable with food though.
Very pleasurable elements in this wine and I would happily drink it again. Think this will continue to improve, but questions whether the fruit has enough intensity to outlast the tannins to reach the potential of a great taurasi.1,038 views
