96 points James Suckling

Complex and deep character with ripe blackberries, raisins, dried roses, dark chocolate, toasted walnuts, dark licorice and wild mushrooms with a little bit of tar. Full-bodied, layered and compact with a broad and velvety tannin structure that lasts long on the palate. Classy, reserved style with hits of sweet tobacco at the end. Needs three to four years to completely come together...

94 points Vinous

Dark and intense, the 2017 Taurasi Radici Riserva smolders up with a mesmerizing blend of crushed ashen stones, graphite, lavender and dried wild berries. This enters the palate lean at first, gaining energy through a core of tart citrus and savory spice as tart red fruits saturate the senses. The 2017 leaves the mouth reeling with a web of fine tannins and a twist of sour orange that puckers the cheeks. This is just a baby today, but it has the balance to mature beautifully over time...
