High quality Taurasi, make no mistake. Macerated cherry liqueur, licorice root and spruce. A sappy, punchy nose with no dearth of extract across the mid-palate. From there, things tighten up. A ferrous riff of molten rock melds with tobacco-doused tannins, gristly and drying in a savory, rather than obtuse, fashion. Some mocha oak, but not intrusive. A lilt of volatility, too, subsumed by the bolshy finish. Bury this. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Enticing notes of spice box, bay leaf and tea rose accent flavors of ripe black cherry and baked fig on the palate of this elegant, finely knit red. It's medium- to full-bodied, with supple tannins emerging on the fresh, minerally finish. Best from 2023 through 2030. 100 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Taurasi Select to Add

Aromatic notes of cherry blossom and a skein of ground spice wind through this zesty, medium- to full-bodied red. Fresh and pleasing up front, offering herb-laced flavors of crushed blackberry and black cherry fruit, but more subtle on the clean-cut, lightly chewy finish. Drink now through 2024. 100 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Taurasi Select to Add

The gorgeous 2010 Taurasi Vigna Quattro Confini is a wine that won my attention and my heart. This distinctive expression is born in a high-altitude vineyard (up to 600 meters above sea level) with clay and limestone soils with both east- and west-facing exposures. This is an elegant, cool climate Taurasi that delivers a huge balsam presence in the form of cola, rosemary spring, dried ginger, pomegranate and cherry. The bouquet is ethereal and delicate, with penetrating longevity and persistence. That special aromatic intensity is likely to become more refined and pure as this Taurasi continues its evolution.
