Terredora Pago dei Fusi Taurasi 2006

Terredora's 2006 Taurasi Pago dei Fusi is striking. It boasts gorgeous inner perfume, layers of black fruit and tons of pure structure. Licorice, tobacco, incense, scorched earth and a host of dark aromas and flavors add quite a bit of complexity and nuance in this bold, full-throttle wine. Despite its full-bodied personality, there is an understated power to the Pago dei Fusi that is remarkable. Once again, one of the most distinctive wines being made in Campania today, the 2006 remains totally fascinating and compelling as it sits in the glass, with striking perfume and fabulous overall balance. Drinking window: 2013-2022. Score - 94. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Feb. 2013)
