Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - Initially shows "grabby" maybe rough tannins, but with air time (or becoming desensitized over time) develops somewhat better manners. Remains full bodied, firm, chewy, Peasant wine, but unique flavors of Aglianico grape - partially ripened dark fruit, iodine, green wood, iodine, wet earth and other flavors i could not readily identify- offer a different experience from the standard international grape varieties. That is the primary appeal for me. (The term brooding used by another reviewer fits for m) .Needs hearty fare with with considerable fat content. Doubt this will turn into a polished well integrated and mannered wine with age, but has its different appeal now.
