  First of six. Cork was about half saturated and broke. Used an ah-so to extract the rest. The wine was not flawed thankfully. Decanted and back in a clean bottle after 3 hours. Lots of chunky sediment. Consumer over another 3 hours.
  
  I would not have thought this was a 23 year old wine. No bricking, still a lot of primary fruit (dark black berries, cassis), grippy tannins. A little oak, plus some peppery and herbal qualities that tell me this would be an excellent accompaniment to a BBQ meal. Overall a pretty well balanced and delicious wine that might hit its peak in another 23 years. On the other hand, these bottles could be eternal.
  
  Music pairing: Pucho and His Latin Soul Brothers - Yaina

  Stood up for 2 days prior to decanting. Decanted for 5 hours and then consumed over another 3-4. The first glass wasn’t very good but it opened up right after and revealed a lovely bouquet of violets and cherries. A hint of tar and oak in each sip. First time having Aglianico with over 15 years of age, and was surprised that the wine I would compare this to would be an aged Bordeaux. Don’t think the tannins have been fully integrated, and looking forward to opening my last bottle in 5+ years.

  Deep ruby color, tending towards black. Somewhat reticent on the nose with elements of mineral, smoke, and blackberry. Plum skin on the palate, dry on the attack but with a lingering sweet finish.

  Another flawed bottle. Cork broke. It was stuck and had to be pried out. It was not as flawed as some previous bottles but was obviously not correct. The first bottle, back in 2011 showed a lot of promise. Sadly, the other 5 all had problems and I never got to experience a proper evolution.

  96 rating applies to 1.5L format. Unbelievable nose of ripe dark fruit, mineral and firm tannins. Over the past year I’ve also had a few 750ml format and the 750 ml format appear to be past its peak, still decent but not near the prime form that the larger format is showing.
