Cigar tobacco, roasted herbs, and plummy dark fruit. Tannins are kept in check with the ripe fruit character. Don’t know why I have been gun shy about Taurasi. Amazing.

On the third day after opening, this Taurasi from Feudi di San Gregorio has come to its full potential. Powerfull still but tannines have softened, allowing lots of black fruits being more forward and with a bit of stable/eathiness. 100% Aglianico from Campania, Italy.

Tart cherry, raspberries on the nose, dried flowers, leather and crisp acidity with some grippy tannins on the palate. Perfect with lasagna!

Very tannic and dry. I would wait for another 5 years or more. Typical of the Aglianico grape. But it's of high quality. Goes well with Italian dishes, maybe even with the spicy Arabbiata.

Jan 5th, 2019Nice nose. Tar and leather. Lots of tannins still, which mellow right out with air. Age has smoothed it right out.

Jul 24th, 2016Intense, medium-dark ruby color. Robust nose of blackberries, baking spices and dried herbs. Tannins are big but are needed to add structure to this wine. A little more time needed to help the tannins soften.
