Fidelis Aglianico del Taburno

2010 vintage. Bright acid. Pretty fun.

Awesome racy aglianco. Quite different for aglianico. Juicy acidity and red fruits with a touch of mineraliry

Not elegant or interesting. Sad face.

Excellent. Smooth but flavorful.

Very good commercial wine, excellent quality grape, not authentic and alive with magic but solid, stable and not over-processed. The fruit has density and dimension, just no real backbone and foundation.

Very good for how long I've been towing this around.

Night 3. This bottle kept really well. Enjoying more with every sip. Some day I'll learn to say wine lover stuff like "melted berries with a hint of ginger."

Very earthy and reminds me of dark chocolate.

Nice violet notes and a lot of bright full fruit for a med body wine. Still a bit disjointed.

Crimson in color with aromas of red currant, sweet tobacco, black olive, fine black table pepper and brushfire. It's spicy in the mouth, medium bodied with medium tannin and balanced acidity. There's flavors of red currant, plum, black olive, black pepper and tar. It finishes with plum, tar, and my favorite characteristic of Aglianico: blood iron.
