"The 1999 Taurasi Radici Riserva is simply beautiful. Sweet dried cherries, licorice, menthol and spices waft from the glass. Made in an elegant style, this complex Riserva shows some of the slightly advanced and oxidized flavors one might reasonably expect from 10 year-old wine, yet the balance is utterly compelling. The finish is long, sweet and ethereal, as pretty suggestions of mint come back to frame the wine beautifully. Mastroberardino gave this Riserva a whopping 30 months in small and large used oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. 93 points.
This is an impressive range of wines from Mastroberardino, one of Campania's historic properties."
