The 2006 Taurasi Radici hits the palate with masses of blueberries, black berries, flowers and spices. The 2006 is a big, explosive wine in need of considerable cellaring. That said, it is remarkably accessible for a young Taurasi from this historic property. Layers of fruit continue to build towards the exotic, concentrated finish. This is a marvelous wine in the making. The 2006 spent two years in a combination of casks and smaller French oak barrels.

The 2006 Taurasi Radici offers up red berries, flowers and spices in a pretty, open expression of Taurasi. There is a lovely roundness that develops in the glass, leading to a long, caressing finish. Despite the challenging vintage, this is a very classy, pure and vibrant Taurasi that should develop nicely along the lines of the estate’s other mid-weight vintages. It will be approachable fairly early, but readers seeking a fully developed wine will need to wait at least a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2036.

Mid to deep ruby with orange rim. A little subdued on the nose with hints of undergrowth and cherry creeping up. This would have benefited from decanting. Succulent red fruit with a firm tannic spine and energetic acidity. Complex and so easy to enjoy. Almost burgundian in stature and with beautifully sculpted tannins. Bravo! (WS)
