2008 vintage, the fierce aglianico tannins have been tamed! Dried black cherry, roasted herbs, prune, earth. May be slightly past it’s peak

Big Aglianico. High alcohol, tannin and yes, acid. Surprisingly balanced. Plum, leather, bay leaf, cocoa. Expensive. $50.

Intense fruit and floral aromas with something a little briney. Dense tannin and bright acid.

Deep red color to it. Spicy on the nose with dryness of some grape skins. On first sip, it's dry, velvety, spicy, with cherry black currants. Definitely smoothed out way more after decanting it. It's different then moa tod the wines I've had. Definitely would pair well with some red pasta.
