At 9 years and with 6h decant this is singing. Expressive, juicy, fresh and quite mineral.
Black fruit, cloves, black pepper, dried orange peel + a warm rocky mineral presence. Highly enticing.
On the palate this is medium bodied, with bright, juicy acidity and a beautiful tannic frame. Quite pronounced but polished, juicy and slowly mellowing. Love the tension between the tannins and acidity. And the space in between. Very long finish with a mineral, rocky ending.
This is quite serious but so drinkable! Works beautifully with food (ribeye!) but also is highly enjoyable after. A bit of a meditation wine.
Delicious stuff!

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.
