Monaco Rosso Taurasi D.O.C.G. 2015 - Cantina dei Monaci

The nose is aromatic, toasted and offers gourmandize. It reveals notes of caramelisation, vanilla pod, small notes of pulpy/juicy small black fruits associated with a touch of camphor, nutmeg, discreet hints of hazelnut and black tea. On the palate it is fruity and offers juiciness, minerality, a nice acidulous frame, gourmandize, a nice tension as well as a certain aromatic purity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of small bright black berried fruits, blackberry, small notes of violet associated with small touches of cassis, camphor, lily as well as hints of thyme flowers, cocoa, tobacco, a subtle hint of black tea, caramelization and licorice. Good length.
