2007 Cantine Lonardo Taurasi Riserva Vigne D'Alto


Drank over the course of several days. Very enjoyable right now but has the flavor and structure to age easily another decade. A finely made wine. Seems a bit too polished when it first hits your palate, then the elegant structure shows at mid-palate and provides a platform for really tasty expression of Aglianico fruit. 

14.5% abv and it shows richness balanced with tannins. Perhaps the most enjoyable 2007 Aglianico I've had from Campania. 

Paired well with spicy scallion chicken and steamed pork dumplings..
