Taber Riserva 2014

Seasonal conditions: a difficult and inconsistent year with heavy rain above all during the winter and a particularly mild summer with memorable rains in regard to quantity and intensity (1,151mm).

A transparent, luminous and lively ruby color. A dark and compact aroma with sensations of dried flowers, leaves and underbrush, all together a bit dusty. The fruit component is very ripe but upheld by a pungent note of blood orange and chili pepper jam. The tight mouthfeel is fresh and saline with rounded and mature tannins, despite the inclement weather, providing body and structure. The finish is fresh and clean with a citrusy, orange aftertaste. Certainly less rich and intriguing that the other wines but commendable for demonstrating how the estate dealt with an inclement year for almost all of Italy.
