Vinous, 95 Points
"The 2015 Taurasi Cinque Querce dazzles with a vivid blend of rum-soaked currants dusted with cocoa and sweet sage. It’s deeply textural, with masses of ripe black fruits complicated by savory herbs, as rosy inner florals form toward the close. The 2015 finishes incredibly long yet structured, with edgy tannins that collect around the perimeter of the palate. Salted licorice tones linger. What a beauty. The 2015 vintage marks a return to form for the Taurasi Cinque Querce. Lose this deep in the cellar."
Wine Spectator, 93 Points
"Suave and harmonious, with a firm frame of fine-grained tannins married to ripe black and red currant fruit, iron and ash, anise, black tea leaf and citrus peel notes. This expands on the palate and through the long, mouthwatering finish."
Winemaker Notes:
"A wine with an impenetrable color and great complexity on the nose with hints ranging from black cherry fruits and plum jams to spices and toast. The taste is full, with good softness supported by a present acidity and elegant tannins. The persistence is long, with a range of fruit sensations ripe and jams and then turn towards the roasted coffee and cocoa."
