Mastroberardino Taurasi Naturalis Historia 2016

Bold and unconventional wine night experience, Bridget was forced to endure a quartet of glasses of this wine. The original sentiment remains unchanged.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a evolved flavor profile, featuring notes of black currants, blackberries, and nuanced herbal undertones. Its smooth, mellow touch and soft undertones of leather complement a well-cooked steak, in contrast pairing well with lamb racks and new potatoes. A satisfying, yet not overly complex, wine that pairs well with a variety of vegetables, consisting of broccoli and garlic, and a mild, creamy cheese like Kaltbach.

True standout, Perrilo Riserva stands out as the finest Taurasi I've encountered. A deep, decadent plum color with a rich tobacco and earthy nose. The palate is distinguished by structured tannins and a rich, rich cherry flavor, augmented by leather and oak notes. The trail is long and satisfying, with a perfect stability of flavors.
