Ratings & Reviews
94 Points – Wine Spectator Magazine:
“A lovely, layered red, offering baked strawberry and cherry fruit accented by graphite, chartreuse liqueur, leather and citrus peel aromas. Vibrant and minerally, with creamy tannins and a subtle streak of tarry smoke echoing on the finish. Tasted non-blind. Drink now through 2028.” – AN (Web Only – 2018)
93 Points – James Suckling:
“A beautiful old Taurasi with loads of ripe and warm fruit character with dried red peppers, blackpepper, and more spices. Full body, round tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Decadent wine. An old release from the cellars of the family. Drink now.” – (December 28, 2013)
91 Points – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous:
“Like the 1999, the estate’s 1998 Taurasi Radici Riserva is a straightforward offering. The French oak seems to come through a touch more than in other surrounding vintages, suggesting 1998 yielded fruit with less structure and depth to play off the oak. Despite the wine’s freshness, early signs of oxidation have begun to creep in. The supple, forward 1998 is an excellent choice for near-term drinking.” – Antonio Galloni (Aug 2010)
