Interesting earthy aromas with shy dark fruit. Medium plus palate weight, moderate acidity with continued savory notes up front, touch of spice on the finish.#aglianico — 3 years ago

Pungent, perfumed nose of violets blasted through a chipper shredder with jasmine and magnolia blossoms; a pronounced balsamic dash underlies. Virgin rose petals catch the bouquet. Ripe red grapes undulate in rich soils.
Red cherries blacken on the palate, shedding roll-ups raincoats in a hail of dusty tannins tart and black cassis and currant with resinous dark cigar heads, espresso beans and bergamot coated in dark , bitter chocolate. Sweet teeth to beast freak.

Smoke and a resinous grape with dried violet and red-black roses. There is a meaty interplay evocative of Cuban sandwiches that simultaneously points at red opium. The floral expression is so seductive! Dry entry that springs from roots in a youthful bitterness, with tannins across the ceiling. Burnt, black currant and darkest toast notes, but with a springy black lime citrus-ness acing like capillaries throughout. Shroud and thundercloud. You smack your lips, and you are literally painting with tannins and charcoal, on the dental portico of your Basilicata basilica, which is dusted with volcanic ash.

The velvet label could be brushed off as gimmicky, but once you taste this wine you’ll see exactly what the producer intended - luscious, silky smooth #aglianico , coffee, chocolate, subtle smoky notes. — 3 years ago

Give it air - plenty of it. Don’t drink in warm weather and have some hearty food and bread. Light intensity on the nose with a medium palate of blackberries. #aglianico — 6 years ago

I found this very pleasurable and while it’s less concentrated and has less body and tannin than other #aglianico it is a great deal for the price. — 7 years ago

Beautiful nose. Delicate, complex, sweet, and perfumed. The palate unfortunately did not match up and needs time to relax and come together. #terradoradiapolo #aglianico #taurasi #campania #italy #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Liquid obsidian. Fine pepper and sparkler smoke encircle dense raspberry and sloe reductions with dried, black plum skins, a solid, semi-sweet bakers chocolate cake, madura cigar, flint and smoldering willow plaited sinewously! Medium heavy mouthfeel, green-pointed and obstructively tannic til open, but emerged rippling and pleasant with graphite, vine charcoal, powdered cadmium, raisined red currant and cassis.

Thoroughly enjoyable #campania #aglianico - pours bright purple into glass; beguiling aromas of plum sauce, stewed black fruit, sweet cigar smoke and a tinge of tar and scorched earth that carries through on the palate. The perception of plummy sweetness on palate is balanced by succulent acidity and indeed there’s velvety tannins on the finish. — 3 years ago

I prefer this #Aglianico to many Italian wines I have had. #giornata works with two different clones and this was more like a #Taurasi style and was intense and spicy. — 8 years ago
