The dark and brooding 2014 Taurasi Riserva Radici is geared for the cellar, yet already thrilling to taste. Here I’m finding a mix of crushed tart cherries, blackberry, and plums, offset by savory herbs, orange rind, and a hint of mocha. On the palate, velvety textures coat the senses, slowly giving way to a complex blend of citrus-tinged dark fruits and saline-minerals, as fine tannin saturates the senses. The finish is long and classically structured, clenching the palate, yet leaving a pretty display of spiced orange and inner florals. There are many years of evolution in store for the 2014 Riserva. The patient consumer will benefit from losing a few bottles in their cellar for at least five to ten years. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2020)

Unique grape. A bit gamey, robust tannin (not overly so). Enjoyable. Got better the more it had a chance to breathe. — 4 years ago
Full body and full tannins meet the earthy murky sweetness of a great natural wine. All of the mouthfeels coupled with broody intellectual flavors—smoky tobacco and freshly polished leather shoes. But that acidy brightness makes me feel like I could drink the entire bottle. Fantastic appritivo to your favorite pizza and a very gorgeous wine — 5 years ago
Absolutely atonishing ! Fruits, tasty, everything is in it. — 5 years ago
Oaky, big Aglianico. Very structured with lots of tannins. Something vegetal in the finish. Probably should have let it age a few more years but very enjoyable nonetheless. — 6 years ago

Слива, черноплодка, ежевика, кофе, кожа, специи, кора, земля, тертый лист, ментол, лёгкая горечь в послевкусии. Среднее уверенное тело, хорошая кислотность, чуть шершавые танины. Ещё очень молодо, пить можно, но рано. Напористо и ярко, с ещё активным дубом, экстрактивно, но не перегружено и свежо на финише. Атлетично, загорело, немного жарко и самоуверенно, с потенциалом. — 8 years ago
First Taurasi ever. I spent more than I normally would for an unfamiliar label but this was am outstanding $50.00 bottle of wine. Opened it on Friday & finished it off the following Tuesday and it was still very good. — 9 years ago
light but strong, pronounced oakiness with only mild tannins, a rosemary note; pairs nicely with spicy foods / red meat, without overpowering. — 9 years ago
