Naturalis Historia Taurasi Aglianico
Taurasi, Avellino, Campania, Italy
Pungent, perfumed nose of violets blasted through a chipper shredder with jasmine and magnolia blossoms; a pronounced balsamic dash underlies. Virgin rose petals catch the bouquet. Ripe red grapes undulate in rich soils.
Red cherries blacken on the palate, shedding roll-ups raincoats in a hail of dusty tannins tart and black cassis and currant with resinous dark cigar heads, espresso beans and bergamot coated in dark , bitter chocolate. Sweet teeth to beast freak.

Very structured and tannic … much more time to go … chocolate and stewed currants and figs. Dry soil and herbal notes.

Very earthy, wet earth, wet leaves, dates, blackberry compote, the tannins are very sultry! Quite a long, savory, tobacco finish. Very nice! #Aglianico #Taurasi #Italianwine #vinoitaliano #vinocongliamici

Fig, date cake, iron, blood, lavender, salumi. A treat at 12 yrs old from the bull! The warm vintage is apparent but everything seems to be in balance.

Cherry, blueberry, violet, and licorice on the nose. Black cherry, earthiness, and a mild spice note. Nice body, smooth, and easy tannins. Good finish.

Past its prime by one to two years. Already bricking with brown edges and some balsamic flavor. The tannins in the finish are completely smooth, but the attack is muted and slightly vinegar. Oh well.

Unique grape. A bit gamey, robust tannin (not overly so). Enjoyable. Got better the more it had a chance to breathe.

Oct 23rd, 202117.5/20 (93/100) Развитый, комплексный букет ароматов табака, ежевики, шоколада и нотой вяленых бананов. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, бархатистыми, немного шероховатыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Отлично!
