Very nice. New varietal for me. I like the light Rudy color. The nose matched what I saw in the glass bright, round and juicy. On the pallet I got bright red fruit but it was pack with a bit more structure and weight than I expected. I can see drinking more of this. — 4 years ago

I opened this bottle of the 1971 Taurasi Riserva with a Durand and, to be honest, I don’t know how the cork could have been extracted, intact without it. The cork was fully saturated and super gnarly looking. I poured a small taste to check color and see what was happening on the nose. It came across a little lethargic and funky so I poured the bottle into a ship’s decanter, careful to manage the sediment, and allowed it to stretch its legs for about four hours prior to dinner. The process of decanting filled the room with a wonderful perfume; this was a good sign! It turns out, it needed all of that air because it transformed into quite the darling.

In the glass, the 1971 showed remarkable color for being over half a century old. It presents a rudy, garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of desiccated cherries, Balsamico, dried leaf tobacco, leather, Mexican birria, and volcanic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins (all integrated) and medium+ acid which is keeping this very much alive. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and has a saline finish. This bottle ended up being a very lovely experience and a fine compliment to a simple dinner of filets prepared in cast-iron and some spaghetti carbonara that I made with some pancetta made by my brother-in-law. After looking at the label a little closer, I realized that this was back when Taurasi had only achieved DOC status. In fact, they had only just received that status the year before in 1970! Taurasi has since been awarded DOCG (1993). Drink now and enjoy! — 7 months ago

Dark Rudy color with brown edges. Smells wonderful. Taste is less fruity then the nose would suggest. It’s woody with a slight oak on the finish. — 5 years ago

Had my doubts when I first opened the bottle. But this is a great mature and well balanced red burg. Forest floor with nice red fruit and good acidity. Purchased from the Rudy collection when auctioned off by the US Marshals. — 5 years ago
