Mastroberardino Taurasi Riserva 1968, 1 bottle (oc) Campania u: top shoulder "The 1968 Taurasi Riserva is simply magnificent. Marvelously dense and ethereal, this classy, breathtaking Taurasi offers up a melange of plums, prunes, licorice, herbs, spices and minerals, showing incredible detail and tons of inner perfume. Amazingly, the 1968 comes across is incredibly youthful and vigorous. Today, it looks to be developing along the lines of the 1958, another fabulous vintage here. The finish retains very attractive elements of classicism and sheer tannic clout. The 1968 Riserva can be enjoyed today, but ideally it is best opened several hours prior to being served. In 1968 the Riserva was made from a blend of vineyards in Montemarano, Pian d'Angelo and Castelfranci, three of the most renowned spots for Aglianico. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030." A. Galloni for TWA, 97 pts. 08/10 1 bottle (oc)
