Mastroberardino Radici Taurasi Riserva 2016 / 750 ml.

Item#: 1686

SP9595 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 20, 2023
A focused and fragrant red, leading with hints of pencil shavings, violet, tobacco and citrus that accent flavors of blackberry and black cherry fruit. This is refined and supple, fresh with lively acidity, but also shows weight and concentration, with sculpted tannins emerging on the mineral- and spice-laced finish. Drink now through 2036. (Alison Napjus)
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 6th Oct 2022
Showing its distinctive white label, the Mastroberardino 2016 Taurasi Riserva Radici is a full-bodied expression from a classic vintage. The wine carries its fruit weight with grace and offers plenty of lingering black fruit, dried plum, cinnamon spice and toasted coconut. Detractors might fault the ample oak spice here, but the wine hits a delicate point of balance thanks to the extreme fruit quality at hand. (Monica Larner)
