Luigi Tecce Riserva Puro Sangue Taurasi Aglianico 2015

$77

From a plot of Aglianico vines planted on a clay-heavy soils, the Puro Sangue, while be no means a pushover, is certainly the 'friendlier' of Tecce's two Taurasi.  Rich, dark, textured and insanely expressive, this wild, mineral packed beast is something to behold.   As good as it is now, it's got decades of betterment ahead of it.   READ MORE Vintage: 2015 Country: Italy Region: Campania Appellation: Taurasi Riserva Grape: Aglianico Farming: Organic Drink: Now-2055

The 2015 Taurasi Riserva Puro Sangue bursts from the glass with masses of crushed stone, ashen earth, citrus-tinged blackberries and animal musk. There are depths of silky textures nicely contrasted by vibrant acidity, as ripe plums, minerals, hints of tangerine and inner herbal tones resonate throughout. Its structure comes forward through the finale, yet there’s so much primary concentration and mouth-watering tension that it hardly slows the momentum, as notes of tobacco, cocoa and inner rose tones seem to last for nearly a minute. Luigi Tecce knocked it out of the park with the 2015 Puro Sangue. Readers are going to find it hard to wait long enough to watch these fully mature; but trust me, it will be worth waiting for.(Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)
