  June 4, 2023 - 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.

  April 22, 2023 - 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.

  December 30, 2022 - Color: dark ruby
  Nose: a certain barnyard note dissipates with time in the air, leaving room for a nice ripe plum fruit character, and a lot of tobacco. There is also a variegated support cast with rosemary, blood, chestnut, a hint of smoke making apparitions
  Palate: very bright high acidity, medium-high tannins and a medium full body. Super fresh and light on its feet despite the age, thanks to the lively acidity. Confirms the nose with a prevalence.of th blue fruit
  Finish: medium-long
  
  Very nice food wine, needs about a hour and a half of air to show all it has to give. No rush to drink IMO. Prepare the steak!

  October 23, 2022 - Bjørnebær, kirsebær, blå plommer, eikefat og litt jordkjeller i nesa.
  I munnen er det kirsebær, solbær og rips med en fin fruktsødme balansert av en liten snert syre. Fin fylde og rundhet hele veien med nok taniner til å smelte nydelig inn med utbeienet lammelår og fløtepoteter. Kommet dit hvor den også nytes godt i glasset etter mat.
