A 99 point rating was given to the Terra di Lavoro.Powerful wine with superb richness, displaying inky purple color. On the nose, one will find bouquet of crème de cassis, roasted leather and burnt earth.  The tannin is sizeable yet soft, with layers of fruitiness on the palate. Although the taste of this wine is almost wild, it still retains its complexity and solid structure. With some breathing time it will display nose of chocolate, blackberry and gooseberry. This is an extraordinary effort and can be enjoyed now or cellar it for another 20 years.
