Now THIS is what I want out of an Italian red. Balsamic, figs, dried cherries and tar on the nose. More the same on the tongue plus some leathery notes. And some lilacs! It is lithe yet thick, like a violet colored lightweight down comforter it will keep you warm. I poured a glass and am going to try again in an hour or so.......okay I’m coming back to it now almost two hours after. The VA has blown off more which is both good and bad depending how you look at it. Oddly the fruit seems fresher. And more. More plush ripe fruit. I’m into this but I fear it’s age made it fall off a bit faster than I surmised.

Encore en pleine forme, sur la cerise, les herbes. C’est gouleyant, une belle surprise avec encore un potentiel pour 3-4 ans

1998. Drink soon. Incredibly smooth. Acidity plus. Tart but refined. Incredible to drink. Can’t wait to get after the other bottles.

Incredibly fresh tasting for a wine of its age. Aromas of fig, black plums, dried cherries, purple flowers and iron. Same on the pallet along with hints of leather and tobacco. Plush, full and round. Deep garnet color. Amazingly youthful expression of Agloanico. Pleasant surprise. Outstanding!! Thank You Keith S.
