1999 Struzziero Taurasi Acuto di SopranoTaurasi DOCG Aglianico more |
3/18/2007 - 14frimaire wrote: NRThe underlying material seems pretty good. It has strong, dark fruits and a meaty mid-palate. But they've pushed the extraction and the oak treatment too far. Why is it so hard to find a nice, solid Aglianico? |

1985 Casa Vinicola D'Angelo Aglianico del Vulturemore |
9/3/2010 - 14frimaire wrote: NRDidn't give this enough air. It seemed reduced and a little muddy. Although it opened a bit after forty minutes or so in the decanter, it never really came around. We finished before it really had a chance. |

2000 Ocone Aglianico del Taburnomore |
4/30/2005 - 14frimaire wrote: NRI've had a few bottles of this, and I remain on the fence. It's got nice, pure red fruit with some iron and spice, but it's a little simple and doesn't have as much personality as their Fallanghina, which I think is super. Perhaps the tannins are getting in the way? I tried decanting. It helped a little. Perhaps it just needs some time? |

2009 Cantina Giardino Aglianico Irpinia Le folemore |

2005 Viticoltori De Conciliis Aglianico Donnaluna Paestum IGTmore |

1999 Fontanavecchia Aglianico del Taburno Riserva Vigna Catarattemore |
2/25/2007 - 14frimaire wrote: NRFully ripe, dark to the rim, this operated more on the meaty end of the spectrum, rather than the floral, rose-petal delicacy I tend to prefer. It was a lovely example of the type, however, full-bodied, deep, with plenty of character, and no wood to distract. I think a few years in the batcave will serve this well; I can see it picking up a smoky complexity with age. |

2004 Elena Fucci Aglianico del Vulture Titolomore |
12/11/2009 - 14frimaire wrote: NRNot quite past my threshold on the modern side, but further along than I would prefer, this nevertheless has good material. |

2004 Elena Fucci Aglianico del Vulture Titolomore |
10/30/2012 - 14frimaire wrote: NRDecanted for an hour or two, this was mostly non-descript. The wood has integrated, but the color is still dark. Nothing too off-putting, and, at the end, it picked up some nice aromatics. Still not worth the storage. |

2001 Famille Peillot Roussette du Bugey Cuvée Buster Altesse de Montagnieumore |
5/24/2011 - 14frimaire wrote: NRBest showing of this wine since release. There is some bottle sweetness and a little RS. Yes, there are some nutty overtones, but they remain in the background. This is much fresher than most bottles this old and has added some layers that weren't there to begin with. |

I need to start moving through these more quickly. It's in a great place, but I don't know how long they'll stay there. |
