Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 94 points

The impressive 2009 Taurasi Riserva Piano di Montevergine comes from a two-hectare single-vineyard site with 30-year-old vines. The wine ages in barrique and botti for up to 24 months. The style displayed is thick and penetrating with beautifully contrasting themes of dark fruit and spice. Blackberry and Morello cherry are enhanced by cinnamon and dark chocolate. That plush, international style that Feudi di San Gregorio has so effectively perfected is on proud display in this gorgeous wine. - Monica Larner

Aged in both barriques and large casks, this hearty Taurasi opens with aromas of toasted oak and ripe black fruit. The palate slowly opens up to reveal dense black cherry layered with chocolate, toast and Mediterranean spices, alongside drying tannins. Give this time to open up and fully develop. Drink after 2019. - Kerin O’Keefe
