The 2003 Taurasi Riserva is richer and deeper than the 2004 but lacks that wine’s delineation and clarity. Instead, readers will find a lovely roundness, plushness and overall sense of accessibility that make the 2003 absolutely delicious today. Hints of chocolate, worn-in leather and spices round out this tasty Taurasi. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.
These three Taurasis from Perillo are all impressive.
