Power surges from the glass in this 2017 Mastroberardino Radici Taurasi Riserva, with dense black cherry and blackberry layered over dried rose, cocoa, sweet tobacco and a hint of wild herbs. The palate is full-bodied yet taut, driven by vivid acidity, dark fruit and savory spice, all wrapped in firm, velvety tannins that grip and lengthen the finish. A concentrated, heat-marked vintage, but here it’s been shaped into a structured, ageworthy Taurasi that still needs time to fully harmonize.
