Classic wine from a classic producer. Another stellar vintage of this outstanding wine! Dark ruby color with a slight garnet rim. Starts out a bit tight but opens beautifully. Aromas of black cherry/plum with hints of dried rose petals, rosemary, chai spices and garrigue. Palate shows more cooked black cherries and plums with notes of bay leaves and baker’s chocolate. Touches of dried earth, minerals and smoke on the long and luxurious finish. Full bodied and noticeable tannins that will continue to soften with time. Beautifully balanced. Stellar! Nice selection, Keith S! Revisited in April 2024. Fabulous!

Nice Aglianico in Zurich. Enjoyed with a Bolognese at Bindella in the Old Town. Opened a bit tight but decanted for 20 minutes during the first course and then it really got going. Savory, with some nice dark fruits (black cherry, raspberry) on the palate and some graphite and tobacco, too. Could definitely age it more if you own this in your cellar. Most other reasonably priced bottles on the list were much younger, so this had a good balance of a bit of bottle age and price.

Excellent. Bold, interesting, and rich. Spices, dark fruit, tannins. But balanced. Buy again.
