Perillo
Riserva Taurasi Aglianico
Taurasi, Avellino, Campania, Italy
13 years and starting to say something quite nice
The tannin is solved and super silky
The complexity is there
The freshness supports the body extremely well
We are just when the the Taurasi starts to unfold and transform itself from caterpillar to butterfly
Very exciting

Tasted in 2 runs: 1st in the morning - no decanting: touch of reduction suggesting tar; compact with dark fruit scents - tight and abundant tannins; well balanced and a firm finish. 2nd in the evening, nose was more appealing with clearer definition. On the palate the dark fruits were still there but alongside notes of wood. Robust, firm all the way long and tight. Brilliant but one to lay down a bit, good potential over the next 7-10 years.
