The “vineyard of five oaks” yielded a rich, dark, earthy wine in ’96, with sweet notes of molasses, brown sugar and soy sauce. Full-bodied and low in acidity, with plenty of tannin to lose, the question is whether the tannins will ever soften enough to come into balance.

Here’s a modern and beautiful wine with warming tones of vanilla, spice, chocolate and blackberry. The wine is thick and dense with dark extraction and very solid tannins. Drink after 2010. A Marc de Grazia selection, various American importers.

This is an easy-going and fruit-forward wine with distant mineral shadings that add dimension and personality to otherwise standard aromas of black fruit and spice. The wine has a thin, compact style and ends with a blast of bright cherry fruit.

This is a pleasantly intense wine with resiny aromas of tar, tobacco and smoked cedar wood. It has a dense, impenetrable personality and there are slightly bitter tannins on the close.

Taurasi can sometimes be a gritty, raw wine with overdone power and heft. But this expression is soft and yielding thanks to its aromas of blackberry, vanilla, black stone and spice. The tannins are rock-solid and hard. A Marc de Grazia selection, various American importers.
