  Deep ruby red in the glass, with violet/black-blue hues. Ripe fruit comes out first, but the tertiary aromas are quick to follow. Some tobacco, some dark chocolate and loads of dried berry fruit & figs. Body is beyond powerful, with a whopping alcohol and ripe, firm tannins. Acidity is medium and doesn't really act as a support to the robustness of this wine. This is all about sheer power kicking in the door.

  Complex notes of tobacco, dried herbs, minerality/smoke, blackberries and some sweet spices (licorice). It's medium-full bodied with medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Good length. A very pretty and fresh Aglianico at the beginning of its drinking window.

  Most excellent, very well balanced, with some Pomerolesque hints in it.

  Warm, spicy and very rich on the palate with dried fruit, gingerbread, chocolate, peppermint, liqorice and raisins. The tannins are still pretty robust and the acidity is fresh but the oak is not yet fully integrated and shows some bitterness. A rather complex wine with lots of nuances.
