Mastroberardino Radici Taurasi Riserva DOCG 2011

WE 94 / WS 94 / JS 94

WE: Aromas of exotic spice, mature black-skinned berry, cocoa and sandalwood lead the way. The palate boasts a weightless concentration, doling out mature black cherry, Mediterranean herb, clove and brown pepper. Firm, refined tannins provide seamless support. Drink through 2031.

WS : A dry and aromatic red, with accents of cured tobacco and pencil shavings to the flavors of baked raspberry, licorice snap and tarry smoke. Well-knit and balanced, this is full-bodied, with dense tannins firming the finish.

JS : A beautiful red with blackberry, spice, oyster shell and hints of black pepper. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a polished and pretty finish. Gorgeous. Made from aglianico. One of the best wines in years from here.
