Contrade di Taurasi – Lonardo 2009 Coste (Taurasi)

Country: Italy / Coste
Variety: Aglianico Southern Italy
Winery: Contrade di Taurasi – Lonardo / Taurasi

This earthy Taurasi opens with aromas of ripe black fruit, blue flower, wet soil and leather. The ripe, structured palate doles out fleshy black cherry accented by cracked black pepper and balsamic herbs. With bracing tannins, give this time to fully develop depth and complexity; drink after 2019. Oliver McCrum, Polaner.
