Baked and dried fruit, tannins that have softened with time. Drinking beautifully.

Epic 1974 Taurasi: subtle, hot earth & dried black fruit aromas, charcuterie and mineral on the palate

Aglianico greatness. Driven, super fresh acidity, tannins have softened but epic masculine structure remains. A contrast to the recent vintages which lack the soul in this mother!

1972, and still a baby (practically). Firm tannins, dark red color, cherry fruit, insanely long-lived.
