    December 25, 2022 - Garagiste selection 14% ABV

    Color: deep dark purple with viscous legs
    Nose: medium/full intensity. Complex rich dried fruits and berries. Some leather and smoke. Continued to open in the glass... wonderful evolution!
    Body/flavor: Medium/full body; lots of dried fruit, minerality, and competing notes of dark fruit preserves. Well balanced... quiet tannins and alcohol.
    Aftertaste: Lingering finish.

    Oh did it go well with roast turkey. Probably at or just beyond its peak, so recommend drinking now!

    November 3, 2022 - Last one of this. I suppose I like this one a bit more than the bottle i had last year (in the sense that it is a big more endowed with dark fruits) but boy is this a rustic/masculine wine. Teeth rattling tannins, tar, tobacco, tea leaves, and black dirt. This doesnt give a lot of pleasure.

    December 12, 2021 - Enticing nose of chocolate-mocha-earth, but the palate gives less pleasure, with quite a bit of tannic grip. Lots of Anglianico tar and muted cherry fruit. A lot of substance to this wine, but it tastes out of balance and I don't think it is likely to improve.

  • Neurowine1 Does not like this wine:

    May 21, 2021 - 7 years in the box. I have amassed a small ocean of aglianico that I need to start getting in to. Muted nose of dark fruits and tar. In the mouth the overwhelming impression is one of rusticity. Chewy, teeth-staining, bulls blood sort of wine. Leather, decaying leaves, tar, and a hint (just a hint) of black cherry. Very drying. Masculine. This wine would taste great in some ancient cellar on a cold gray night at a farm in Basiliicata; here in Silicon Valley on a lovely Friday evening, it just tastes dirty and kinda old. I think Rimmerman oversold this one.

    April 15, 2021 - Big powerful, a little rustic with nice grip. Although this wine is 14 years on (and calmed down a bit) it still has ageing potential. I didn't find any of the over ripe or port like tendencies others wrote about but the older this wine gets the more convinced I am that it will never be anything other than "rustic" (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).
