  Dark fruit (cherry, blueberry, slight plum), spice, earth, slight floral, slight anise?, slight herbal. Good acidity. Lingering finish.

  Opened at restaurant. Similar notes to my earlier reviews. Drinking great now - this wine has not declined at all - every bottle has been great and whomever I share it with, loves it. I need to buy more wines with the Taurasi varietal - I have liked every one.

  Big and brazen, like previous bottles, this is a bit too much. Has a raisan tone, a bit like a bad Amarone.

  7/6/2017 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  Really lovely, fully mature, deeply sapid wine. Very floral nose, almost in the face of the dark ruby color. Full-bodied, but in that mature way, the way that says there's still plenty of fresh acidity to keep it interesting. Floral notes, followed by complex soil tones slightly overwhelm the ripe plum and sweet cassis aromas/flavors. This remains interesting until the very last sip, when it's turned into a floral Amarone-esque wine; even then, thanks to the acidity, it's interesting. In a special place just now, don't wait any longer. Cork and fill near perfect. 14,0% abv., the heavy bottle thing sucked, please, never again with the heavy bottle. Anyone. Everyone. recommended
  
  About the amount, at least, of fine and chunky sediment as you'd expect at this point, so carefully decant; now and the next 2-4 years, depending on your cellar temp.

  Plum and bitter black cherry, some stem and bramble, savoury herbs, liquorice. Not bad, but none of the components really mesh. And there's this latex paint note on the nose that's hard to get past.
