"Tradition and elegance are two words that sum up this red with its bold, ruby-garnet color. The aroma is of black cherry, leather, licorice and tobacco. The mouthfeel is saline, warm and rich with thick and compact tannins and the finish is long and deep."

"Immense and perfect. This is a wine that made Italian wine history. It has an intense, garnet color and the aromatic spectrum is extraordinarily complex with notes that are balsamic, spicy and slightly smoky, together with scents of tamarind, sour cherry, black tobacco, licorice and dried fruit preserved under spirits. The mouthfeel is velvety with tannins that are still lively, tamed yet still youthful. The finish is very long and wrapping. A very great and unforgettable wine. Price: N/A"

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Mastroberardino Radici Riserva, Taurasi DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 1961 on 01.01.1970 with 96 of 100 points.
"An intense and bright garnet color. The aromas are broad and bottle aged, creating a composed and complex bouquet with slightly volatile, ethereal notes of dried fruits preserved under spirits and walnut liqueur together with those of black cherry jam, black Kentucky tobacco and tar. The mouthfeel has an excellent acidity which highlights the flavor, with tannins that are for the most part settled. The wine has a very youthful character and is surprisingly intact and very persistent. Price: N/A"

94 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Mastroberardino Radici Riserva, Taurasi DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 1996 on 01.01.1970 with 94 of 100 points.
"The very bright, luminous and limpid garnet color is the clearest of the lot. Distinct fruit scents dominate the aroma which has not yet fully aged and is still young. There are notes of black cherry, sour cherry, raspberry, porcino mushroom and some cardamom spice hints as well as those of black Kentucky tobacco. A wonderful acidity upholds an agile, lively body with severe, austere and yet non-aggressive tannins which complete a very taut and elegant mouthfeel."

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Mastroberardino Radici Riserva, Taurasi DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.1970 with 93 of 100 points.
"A bright, intense ruby-garnet color. The aroma is initially spicy with vanilla and cinnamon before very young fruit notes set in, above all those of black cherry and raspberry. The mouthfeel is solid with a refreshing acidity making it agile and 'crunchy', dynamic and taut, with tannins that are evident but velvety and not at all drying. The close is dominated by alcoholic warmth."
yr. 1952 Doctorwine:
90 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Mastroberardino Radici Riserva, Taurasi DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 1952 on 01.01.1970 with 90 of 100 points.
"The color is a clear garnet while the bouquet opens up with distinct scents of bottle aging, with both oxidized and volatile notes. The aromas include walnut husk, dried fruit preserved under spirits, traditional balsamic vinegar and cooked must. The acidity stands out in the flavor, which alternates between freshness and evolved notes that define its vivacity and drinkability. The mouthfeel is silky, the tannins are only hinted at and are for the most part settled and amalgamated. It closes with a wonderful persistence which is unexpectedly intact. Price: N/A"

"Dunkelleuchtendes Rubinrot. Sehr satte, würzige Nase, nach Bitterschokolade, Unterholz, Tabak, dazu Lakritze und Brombeeren, erinnert im Nachhall an frisch gebackenes Schwarzbrot. Am Gaumen geschliffen und mit tollem, ausgeprägtem Fruchtkern, druckvoll, mit Grip, zeigt hervorragenden Holzeinsatz, harmonisch und lange, ohne dabei seinen tanningeprägten Charakter zu vermissen."

"This opens with aromas recalling burned rubber and charred earth with whiffs of pressed rose petal and dried herbs. The enveloping palate offers dried cherry, prune and licorice set against close-grained tannins that leave an assertive, drying finish. Drink after 2022. Kerin O'Keefe"

"à^ brillante e ricco di energia questo Taurasi giovane dalla visione moderna. Le prugne rosse incontrano le ciliegie e le amarene per comporre il bouquet principale. Il sottofondo dispensa fiori di limone e buccia di lime e dona fragranza e succosità . Corpo medio-pieno, tannini leggermente rigidi al momento ed un finale dalla vivace e ben presente acidità . Meglio dal 2021."

"Underbrush, charred earth, spiced plum, tobacco and star anise are just some of the aromas you'll find on this delicious red. It's enveloping yet structured, delivering dried black cherry, licorice and cocoa set against a backbone of velvety tannins. Hold for even more complexity. Drink 2022-2032. Kerin O'Keefe"

"(100% Aglianico). Leuchtendes Rubin. Die Nase noch etwas vom Holz geprägt, zeigt aber viel Tiefe, deutlich schwarze Kirschen, Waldbeeren, dazu Gewürzbrot, Kräuter, Tabak, mit mehr Luft immer floraler werdend, verspielt, komplex, ein Schnüffelwein. Der Gaumen ist kraftvoll, dicht und dennoch elegant, sehr würzig, markante doch äusserst feine Tannine, gut integrierte Säure, lebhaft, vibrierend und mit spannender Mineralik, das Holz ist im Gaumen perfekt eingebunden, die Struktur beeindruckt. Sehr langer Abgang. Ein Kraftprotz auf dem Hochseil, ideal als Essbegleiter. 2018-2030+, 18.5 vvPunkte (93/100)."

"Here is a gorgeous smoky and spicy expression of Taurasi with harmonious notes of leather, black cherry, mineral, cola and pepper. The wine has enormous length and persistency and offers many layers of taste and texture. This is a beautiful bottle that should be cellared for at least five more years."
