"The 2015 Taurasi Cinque Querce dazzles with a vivid blend of rum-soaked currants dusted with cocoa and sweet sage. It,s deeply textural, with masses of ripe black fruits complicated by savory herbs, as rosy inner florals form toward the close. The 2015 finishes incredibly long yet structured, with edgy tannins that collect around the perimeter of the palate. Salted licorice tones linger. What a beauty. The 2015 vintage marks a return to form for the Taurasi Cinque Querce. Lose this deep in the cellar."

"Suave and harmonious, with a firm frame of fine-grained tannins married to ripe black and red currant fruit, iron and ash, anise, black tea leaf and citrus peel notes. This expands on the palate and through the long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2035. ‡A.N."
