2007 Mastroberardino Taurasi Riserva Radici

 In a beautiful stage of fulfillment of the pedigree... the richness of the 2007 vintage fruit has aged enough now to permit the wine to show more elegantly with that signature "Taurasi garrique" that is so savory in the 2006 Radici Riserva bottling, so you now get some of that in the 2007.

This is so nicely balanced and will continue to age very gracefully,  IMO. Superb depth and complexity on a long filigreed finish. 

Paired with smoked local pork shoulder, pork ribs, collards and roasted Brussels sprouts, hushpuppies ...

The less than welcome news is that the 2006 Radici Riserva and 2007 Radici Riserva have both shot up in price by 100% and 120% , respectively., on the secondary market. So make what you will of that.
