This wine was once rough, dark and probably much more powerful than it is today. Showing a careful evolutionary trajectory, the Terredora di Paolo 2009 Taurasi Riserva CampoRe has softened with time. It ages in barrique for three years and sees considerable time in bottle. The bouquet reveals dried back fruit and prune with espresso grinds, spicy licorice, smoke, cedar and mahogany. The aromas develop nicely and fully in the glass, while the mouthfeel is broadly textured and rich. This 9,000-bottle production should hold to the 20-year mark.
