Rated vintages

  • 201189 pts

    Made entirely with Aglianico, this offers aromas suggesting cassis and Mediterranean herb. The concentrated palate delivers blackberry jam, vanilla and toast alongside firm rather astringent tannins. Drink through 2019.

  • 200886 pts

    This dense Taurasi opens with black fruit, toasted oak and chocolate aromas. The extracted palate shows a heavy oak influence and is framed by coffee, mocha and vanilla alongside evident alcohol and bitter, raw wood tannins.

  • 200688 pts

    This shows a bold, overdone bouquet of Indian spice, bitter chocolate, crushed clove and black pepper. The tannins are firm and astringent, and the wine leaves a huge impression on the palate: it's almost too much of a good thing.
