Poliphemo Taurasi Aglianico 2019

Daaaaaaang this is amazing! Pro ratings are too low. Tecce aromatics are so good. Flowers, iron, tar and macerated berries on the nose upon opening. Incredible balance of fruit and minerals with a metallic tone. Hint of licorice. I just opened it and it’s already so complex with little alcohol showing through. Lots of Mediterranean herbs, hay and grape stems on the finish, with a nicely tannic bitter final note. Super long, easing into dusty dried fruit. Absolutely excellent. So smooth and drinkable for a 15-percenter. — 13 days ago

Serpico Irpinia Aglianico 2003

9.1

This was sailing… meaty nose of rich burnt ends coupled with plum jam. Palate was viscous and mineral driven. S little too much acidity with a slightly citrus finish. Nice juxtaposition with the Siro, but this was always destined for second place tonight. — a month ago

Taurasi Aglianico 2010

After 15 years this is starting to shed its gloomy and cranky nature. Black fruit, volcanic minerality, tons of fiery and smoky nuances, refreshing acidity.
Very nice!

Radici Taurasi Aglianico 2019

An enjoyable wine all around although less so than other aglianico’s that I’ve had recently. Deep ruby in color with darker fruit on the palate (plum, blackberry). Oak notes of vanilla and spice were also present. A good pairing with prime rib. — 15 hours ago

Satyricon Irpinia Campi Taurasini Aglianico 2022

Tecce is one of my favorite Italian producers. The 2022 Satyricon doesn’t disappoint. Opens up after 3-4 hours. Dried flowers, cherries and charcoal on the nose. Lovely aromatics. Tart cranberries with blackberries. Sharp minerality, mouth-puckering tannins, astringent, dry, dusty and savory long finish. Very long. Young. 14.5% abv, but it doesn’t feel overly full or heavy. I remember the 2020 being darker and more fruit-forward, but I could be wrong. — a month ago
