"A medium-bodied dense ruby/purple red wine that makes attractive drinking as a young wine. In the glass the wine is a bright dark cherry red with spicy aromas of ripe red berries, violets and a slight gamey character. A young easy to drink style of wine it has soft berry flavours and soft subtle oak characters. It has a delightfully finish."

"The 2007 Taurasi Radici boasts stunning richness, depth and power, yet remains relatively accessible and approachable for such a young Taurasi. Juicy dark cherries, cinnamon, plums, spices, incense, tobacco and a myriad of aromas and flavors saturate the palate as this big, textured wine opens up in the glass. Despite its considerable richness and plushness, the 2007 never loses its classical sense of structure. If that combination sounds appealing, believe me, it is. This is a flat-out stunner from Mastroberardino. Best of all, it will drink beautifully pretty much right out of the gate."

"The 1999 Taurasi Radici Riserva is simply beautiful. Sweet dried cherries, licorice, menthol and spices waft from the glass. Made in an elegant style, this complex Riserva shows some of the slightly advanced and oxidized flavors one might reasonably expect from 10 year-old wine, yet the balance is utterly compelling. The finish is long, sweet and ethereal, as pretty suggestions of mint come back to frame the wine beautifully."

"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."

"Brilliant ruby red. Intense, rich aroma of red berries from wild strawberries to notes of cherry and spice. An overall sensation of freshness. Soft and balanced, with flavors of cherries and strawberries leading into a smooth finish. Enjoy with red or white meats, pâtés and hard cheeses."

"A distinct notable deep ruby red color with a fresh yet intense fruit aroma, predominantly cherry. Full and silky in the mouth with a soft and balanced structure. The flavor is black cherry, strawberry, leather and tar with a minerally finish."

"Intense deep, ruby red in colour, refined delicate scents of blueberry and blackberry along with a note of vanilla from the influence of the barrique. Ample and soft on the palate with a balanced structure and finish, similar to its bouquet."
