Tasting notes
The estate's 2004 Taurasi is made in a fairly restrained style. Smoke, wild cherries and flowers are some of nuances that emerge from this silky, medium-bodied offering. The wine displays considerable freshness and clean minerally notes on the finish, which should allow it to develop nicely in bottle over the coming years. Today the wine remains tightly wound and in need of at least another year in bottle. It may very well merit a higher score in a year or two.
