It's austere, but that's why you bought a taurasi. Dried flowers, boysenberries, raspberries. Almost like an amarone. Well made; I think average score a tad low. Better than the 2016. — a year ago

First sips were disappointing in the brevity of the hit on the palate. Gave it an hour and it lengthened beautifully. This wine has a ton of fruit (crushed sweet red berries), velvety tannins, and great structure. I would be fascinated to see what 10+ years does to it — 2 years ago

This is all delicate, barely ripe fruit (apple, pear, nectarine, tangerine) with medium+ body and acid, and a finish that just won’t stop. Very pretty - I would have called it Chenin Blanc if I had tasted it blind. — 2 years ago

I finally had the chance to open a bottle of Lacryma Christi rosso this evening and was not disappointed. Fresh red berries on the nose, along with some herbs and spice. On the palate, dark fruit and vanilla notes, along with sweet tannins. So good! 85% Piedirosso, 15% Aglianico. 4/9/23. — 2 years ago

Very nice- had the 2019 bottle and it was about 10 bucks better than I paid for it that’s for sure. Delicious on its own but good with chick wand lighter fare too. — 2 years ago

Single cru vineyard, 60y old vines grown on volcanic tuff.
Beautifully floral & expressive on the nose with bright cherry, cedar wood, exotic spices, a touch of dark plum, a pronounced note of crushed, volcanic rock. Showing first hints of evolution but so bright & alive. Amazing, I could be smelling this forever.
On the palate this is a stunning contradiction. Brutish & seemingly rough yet so elegant & charming at the same time.
The unforgiving tannic grip so juicy, slowly mellowing, showing the polished quality below the brute force. The acidity cutting across with citrus freshness, a mineral core underneath the dark fruit, which is filling the edges in th back.
This is a stunner, slowly peaking at 8y of age.
A truly beautiful, profound wine. No wonder they call Taurasi the Barolo of the south. — 2 years ago

It’s been hot as **** here in Campania which meant I didn’t have the chance to have some Aglianico till the air-conditioned comfort of the airport! So good! 🇮🇹 — 2 years ago

Negroamaro with a touch of malvasia nera
Salice Salentino was one of my first love
It is so spicy and smooth at the same time
So easy drinking, it is one of the few wines that comes out in the market not only ready to be drunk, but also (mostly) at its peak i would dare to say. Perhaps not super elegant for the fancy drinkers🤔. Recommending to buy a second bottle always unless you find magnums — 2 years ago
