Vigna Cinque Querce Taurasi Aglianico
Deep garnet. Hawthorn, tart cherry, rose and tar, asphalt, forest floor, dried herbs, sanguine, oregano, thyme, fennel, rosemary. Well integrated acidity and tannins. Full body (14.5%). Great value 😍 called it Barolo La Morra (ignoring the dark color) #facepalm

Sep 16th, 2023Massive on the palate, lots of tart but jammy fruit; oaky tannins that are still really firm. Sweet and sour. Dust and some wet soil on the nose. Not a ton of excitement, a bit boozy. Could be slightly corked.

Taurasi is one of the mega under appreciated & age worthy reds in the vast world of wine. The best of them hold their own with the greats at a fraction of the price.

Aug 7th, 2015A high octane flavor bomb. Lush dark fruit, earth, dusty, scorched minerality, clove, coffee. Powerful, concentrated, lively, and long. Nice grip, tempered by age, probably a beast in its youth.

Apr 9th, 2022Would give it 9+ if I drank this 10 years from now. Crazy burn. Tons of tannin. The 15% alcohol sneaks up on you. Would buy again, but to store for 5-10years

A little too tight and bright. Tastes young. Would probably benefit from decanting
