Italian Wine Report

Tom Hyland

2016 Taurasi

Bright purple; textbook aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate and black plum. Medium-full with excellent concentration. Excellent ripeness, good acidity, well integrated wood notes, rich young tannins that are nicely managed. Impressive complexity, along with very good varietal character and typicity. This needs to sit a few years to settle down and offer its best characteristics. Peak in 12-15 year.
