Mastroberardino Stilèma Riserva Taurasi 2017

Description

A savory, earthy and herbaceous nose offers aromas of smoke and warm soil, but also has the sweetness of plums and black cherries. The palate overflows with more sweet dark fruit, including figs, and a drizzle of cherry syrup, before a rich yet bitter dark-chocolate finish. Tannins are powerful but approachable, while the acid and latent spice are more invigoratingly intimidating. [Drink or hold until 2033+] Score – 96. (Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2024)
