Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Feb 2008
($85) The 2004 Serpico (Aglianico) is rich, dense and sweet in its
expression of dark fruit, licorice, anise and toasted oak. Although it is
a powerful, intense wine, it also presents a slightly more advanced quality
than the 2004 Taurasi, which I preferred for its greater complexity and
balance. 92 points
The famed Veronelli Guide, Italy's leading guide to wine, has given the
2004 Serpico (100% Aglianico) the vaunted "I Super Tre Stelle" (the Super
Three Star) rating.
