2017 opened 2024. A little too fruit forward for my taste. Mild scents of Earth and briars on the nose. Ripe black cherries on the front. Soft tannins — but otherwise not much is there. Earth notes begin mid palate. The tannic structure fades on the end leaving a mildly bitter finish. Nothing offensive about this wine — neither does it challenge me in any way. I’m not very familiar with the Aglianico grape. If this is typical of the of this varietal, it’s a better mixing grape than a primary.
Opened a second bottle March of 2025. Same comments as before, except I only drank a glass and saved the rest for the next day. Much more balanced after some oxygenation! Upped my rating from 8.8 to 9.2! — 2 years ago

From Vinnie. Delicious. Great mouthfeel and a nice little finish—dry in a good way. Flavorful without being jammy/fruity. Earthy? Granite-y? — 4 years ago

Beautiful wine. It came as a complete and oh so pleasant surprise. I had no knowledge of this wine/winery and therefore had no expectations or preconceptions. It was a gift, which meant that I had not seem its price tag. The first sip made me a fan and the ones that followed solidified the admiration. Velvety, full bodied but not "overweight", nice lasting taste, neither fruity nor earthy. A pure joy. — 10 years ago
