My last bottle. Decanted for 90 minutes - heavy crusting and sediment. Fully mature - baked plum, hints of truffle, spice and dusty oak. Smooth tannins, the whole in a delicate frame. Very pleasant but drinking older than vintage on bottle. Drink up.

Opened for 30 minutes - not decanted. Aromas of cherries with distinct wild floral background. Flavour similar but with a distinct leathery meaty backbone and good acid. I think this needs more time to show at its best and will hold back my remaining four bottles till next year at the earliest

Classic aglianico. Spicy and intense. Still quite youthful.

Much better a few years ago. All oak and not much fruit left. Some weird medicinal funk going on too

Good red fruits and tobacco flavours. Mellow, nice.
