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.
