Estate Grown Paso Robles Aglianico

Sweet, port-like, almost pruney nose. Some wood and a bit of gravel underneath. I like the texture (mouthfilling and tannins under control), but it’s pretty simple in the mouth, with noticeable residual sugar. Overall kinda disappointing for this normally exemplary and idiosyncratic producer.

Delectable ate my contemporaneous notes on this, but from what I remember it had a beautiful balance of fruit and extract, just enough tannin, bright acids and high-toned limestoney Paso minerality. I prefer this over most Taurasis I’ve had.

Quite tasty, feel that Paso love!

Friuli, Italy
Smell: wet stone, plum, dark fruit, mineral

the Aglianco and the Nebbiolo are Caparones best wines

This was quite an interesting bottle of wine. Not quite settling into any typical taste profile, and changing a bunch after breathing. It went from a taut almost acidic Zin style to a softer, lighter, Pinot Noir flavor profile. Fun.

Bright fruit with green fermented veggies. Some plummyness. Yum. Big purple fruit on the palette. Tannins start washing in on the mid and keep gripping till the end.

Gift from a friend in Paso years ago. #taurasi ringer. Dried herbs, tobacco, plums, cherries, silky tannin. Perfect w chicken Parmesan.

Touch if barnyard, but smooth overall.

This is really nice. Great barnyard funk, but super well balanced. #winewednesday
