The 2016 Taurasi Vigna Macchia dei Goti is spellbinding, with a classic Aglianico bouquet that mixes musky blackberries and plums with scorched earth, air-dried meats, wild herbs and exotic savory spices. There are depths of dark red and black fruits that flow in silky waves, leaving notes of sour citrus and saline-minerals that drench the palate in primary concentration. Its structure comes through during the finale, where grippy tannins mingle with residual acids to create both a structured yet also fresh impression, as inner rose tones and hints of blood orange slowly fade. The Vigna Macchia dei Goti will require a few years of cellaring to show its best. What a gorgeous Taurasi.
