I thought it was very good. Hard to determine the variety though as it was a bit too acidic for my liking. But with food it was lovely — 6 years ago

Tonight I'm drinking something very special I'm drinking a 2006 Salvatore Molettiere Taurusi. It has deep rich elements of smoke tobacco tar with a brilliant peppery finish and a strong subtle middle of cherry and plum. Not only is this one of the most delicious wines that I've ever tasted but it has certain significance.

Most of the people who know me today have only known me for a few years. However what most people don't know is shortly after high school my life i was in complete disarray. I was living on my own I had no money I didn't eat every day and I had really no clue what I was doing as an adult. I made stupid mistakes for which I'm still upset at myself. And I've been climing myself out of this hole that I dug ever since.

However, today marks a great day for me. I just got approved for a new apartment in Center City. I'm moving out of the ghetto in Kensington and for the first time since high school I really feel like my life is coming together on steady trajectory toward self-actualization.

This wine is highly significant because the Vintage of 2006 was the same year that I graduated high school. That means that the grapes made for this wine were harvested just a few months after my high school graduation. These grapes were on the vine being grown when I was still struggling through high school. These grapes were fermenting at a time that I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. These grapes were being bottled at a time that I was lucky if I ate everyday. And now because of the amount of money I'm making because of the new job that I have, because of the new opportunities that I've created for myself, I'm able to spend the exorbitant amount of money every once in awhile to treat myself to a delicious, delicious Taurasi.

This wine followed the same life that I had. The grapes were being crushed at a time that I was being crushed. They were being ravaged by bacteria called yeast at a time that I was also going through similar changes. This wine was being bottled at a time that I couldn't fill my stomach. This wine took 10 years to get to my palate and now that it's here it's significance is not only moral but incredibly delicious. — 9 years ago

Very high acid. For such a dark red color, surprisingly little fruit comes through. Pair wisely. — 9 years ago

Dark color. Nose has singed raspberries, graphite, sandalwood, sandstoney gravel. Pretty extracted and tannic for a Grenache, with ripe, but dark and bitter-ish black raspberry. Loads of soft but puckery tannin. Was decent with pasta but would shine with a steak.

UPDATE: Night 2, the fruit is sweeter, and there's no bitterness. So the moral of the story is give this plenty of air. Upping score from 8.8 to 9.0 — 8 years ago

So this is my 3rd (and final, to my knowledge) of the flavored varieties of sculpin. Moral of the story, don't mess w perfection. Original sculpin is the best, by far. This is second best. Habanero is toooo spicy, no balance, and grapefruit is too tart. Overall it's good, but original is still king of the hill. — 9 years ago
