Deepest crimson. The aroma is woody rather than oaky - not as sweet-smelling as oak. Leather, earth and sweet spice entwined with black fruits, with a dark, savoury edge, reminds me of coal in a funny way. On the palate, this has the firm, deeply chewy tannins of Aglianico that is not yet ready to be drunk. Earthy and profound with a freshness that is, I think, from both the acidity and the tannins.

A beautiful, layered Taurasi with crushed-berry, mineral, bark and lava aromas and flavors. Some oyster shell, too. It's full-bodied and savory with walnut, pumice and ash undertones. Special, unique wine here. Drink or hold.

This is the inaugural vintage of a new wine from this new estate owned by Antonio Capaldo of Feudo di San Gregorio. Always at the forefront of research, experimentation and investment, Capaldo's new project is intended to underline the best in Campania wines. His Tenute Capaldo 2015 Taurasi Riserva Gulielmus (packaged in its distinctive wide-shouldered bottle) is soft and yielding in a manner that the Aglianico grape rarely is. The wine is tart and streamlined with plenty of dark cherry, blackberry, spice and sweet tobacco along the way. The wine is just about ready to drink now, so many years after the harvest, but could also stand to age further.

Aromas of new leather, ripe plum, aromatic herbs and black-skinned berries emerge from the glass. The savory, elegantly structured palate offers dried black cherry, star anise and tobacco alongside a backbone of fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity.
