Killer showing for this bottle from the epic 2006 Riserva vintage. Hitting on all cylinders from the get-go. Gorgeous wave of floral perfume and Herbsaint nuance upon popping the cork.
Gained serious presence over the course of several hours. What I call Campanian "garrigue" is found in spades here... a combination of sottobosco, herbs and tobacco accent unique to the Riserva cuvee.
Tannins are seamlessly resolved. Not an overpowering wine... very well balanced fruit giving way to a lengthy, elegant finish. A Taurasi for Burgundy lovers.
