  Recent auction purchase.
  Generous fruit, more easy-drinking than I anticipated -- seems to be in a good place right now. Seems much younger than 12+ years old. Don't have much experience with Aglianico, so I was expecting more of a Tuscan type red, but this was more new-worldish and didn't seem distinctly Italian like Sangio and Nebbiolo tend to be. Still, a very good red in a good spot right now.

  Had the last bottle in 2018 and it was way too young back then. In 2023 this vintage starts to open up. Still good to go for another 5 years at least.

  Dark! Aromatics are nice - leather, red and black berries, spices. Bold, big bodied with lots of astringent tannins and a high amount of acid. It drinks like a taurasi, but Im not sure this has the fruit for it to age very long. Better taurasi out there, but for 25 bucks it was pretty good. Needs fatty meat to pair.
