Borgomastro Colli di Salerno Aglianico

Pretty, lots dark and red fruit expressions, orange peel, tea, five spice powder. Little bit of coffee, burnt caramel and earth. Still quite tight with strong tannins. A style of Aglianico that’s a bit more extracted than I prefer. Aromas feel a bit transitional— should be better with more time in bottle.

One of the most elegant Aglianicos out there. Gorgeous nose. Black fruits, tar, spice, almost like good oil, huge minerals, very deep aromas, penetrating but elegant and almost cooling. Palate is ripe, juicy, sauve and deep with super velvety tannins and such purity. Terrific freshness. Such energy and acids. Awesome inner mouth perfumes. Fruit is all black and very tarry and super long. Terrific structure ensures a very long life.

Similar to my previous note: this is still an infant and needs to breathe - tons of depth here just needs time & patience

Jet black, inky & brooding, dense & tightly wound - this is an infant. Tons of flavors once it opens - among all the various fruit, I really enjoyed the terroir driven elements of soil & Earth, licorice & forest floor, bramble & spice. Great complexity. Chewy tannins, elegantly styled & powerful. Felt like 14% was lowballing it tho… thanks @Lyle Fass

Terrific combination of elegance and power.

Nose is blackberry flower.

Palate is Sleek blackberry fruit. A hint of licorice. Texture is so fine.

Wow. As this opens even silkier. Like this blackberry flower licorice liquid perfume thing. So elegant. That burgundy from Aglianico thing.

Bought from fass selections.
