Radici Taurasi Riserva DOCG 2011 · 6 Flaschen in Original-Holzkiste

Glanzklares, kräftiges Rubin, Aromen von Kirsche, roter Johannisbeere, Kakao und Teer. Saftig, würzig und hell, mit fester Säure und strammem Tannin, die ihm Definition und den Aromen Auftrieb geben. Sehr frisch und präzise, anhaltend und glatt. Verfügt über hervorragendes Potenzial. Verkostet man jahrzehntealte Weine aus dem Hause Mastroberardino (zurück bis zum Jhg. 1928) wird klar: Die Weine sind monumental, unsterblich oder zumindest für die Ewigkeit.

„The dark and brooding 2011 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.“ VINOUS

„Really complex aromas of iodine, spices and blackberries with some clove, pepper and pumice undertones. Full-bodied, yet so balanced and focused with really fine tannins. Extremely long with some tar highlighting the fruit. Fantastic release. Reminds me of some of the great Taurasi from the 1960s from here.“ JAMES SUCKLING
