Crushed plums, cherries, and blueberries are offset by spiced orange and a hint of tangerine, then further complemented by hints of rosemary, tomato leaf, and finally, animal musk; this only begins to describe the layered bouquet on the 2013 Luigi Tecce Taurasi. On the palate, soft textures usher in fleshy red fruits and citrus-kissed herbal tones, as subtle tannins slowly collect on the senses. Its structure shows mostly through the long, dramatic finish, tugging at the cheeks and drying, yet all you need to do is take another sip to refresh the experience. Frankly, I don’t see this vintage aging decades in the cellar. There’s a bit of a rustic edginess here, yet the 2013 is beautiful today and sure to provide many years of pleasure.

In the good vintages this Aglianico has only few others that can match it
Magic!!
Fruit, mineral, vulcanic, velvety tannin, long after taste
A wine from another dimension, ethereal
