This 2009 Taurasi is old-school and maybe a bit flat in places, as there doesn't appear to be much fruit left after nearly a decade in the bottle. You can, however, still pick up some notes of cherry liqueur, licorice, crushed stone and campfire ash. The wine sees 25 days of skin maceration and up to 12 months of aging in barrique. Some 5,000 bottles were made.
