  March 17, 2019 - Drinkable, but for Aglianico, it's mediocre. Deficient in everything I look for in this variety. Lacking body, fruit, and tannin. The better wines of this variety are quite powerful and show why Aglianico is sometimes referred to as "the Barolo of the South."

  January 30, 2018 - Pleasant but not complex. Needed a bit of air to open up, and even so, I don't think this is something I would want without a decent matching food (we had it with pasta and tomato sauce, for which it was perfectly adequate) .
