  May 28, 2020 - 3rd tasting Aglianico vintage 2005
  Again overwhelming tertiary aromas, cedar, wet leaves, smoke, tobacco and liquorice, primary aromas predominantly black currant.
  
  Black fruits and a medium acidity in the attack on palate. Med+ astringency that dominates balance. Mild alcohol. Medium finish without additional layers or complexity. Well integrated.

  April 30, 2018 - era molto tempo che non mi capitava di assaggiare un Camarato, e devo dire che ho apprezzato molto questa bottiglia di 2005, dal naso per nulla sfacciato, con sentori minerali di grafite e pietra focaia, frutta rossa e nera matura ma non surmatura, elicriso, e pepe nero. Al palato manca qualche eccesso di grassezza e struttura che ricordavo in annate antecedenti, anzi qui tannini piuttosto solidi dominano il campo, assieme ad una sinergia sapidità/freschezza che conferisce un'ottima bevibilità.

  July 30, 2017 - Balanced. Good structure. I believe it will evolve well in the next 5 years.

  May 11, 2013 - During a tasting. Medium garnet. Discrete nose of red berries, earth, oak and a hint of mint. Medium body with pronounced, drying tannins. Needs to have softer tannins for a higher note.

  May 11, 2013 - Italy Tasting @ friend's house. Medium garnet color. Pretty expressive nose of red berries (raspberries, red cherry), some dried fruit, fruit compote and some flowers (rose, violet). Medium body, medium-high acidity and medium tannins, but definitely on the dry side. It's probably a little young but I doubt that the tannins will ever fully integrate before the fruit dries out. A. Galloni (who I think very highly of) rates it 93P. In our tasting group, this was one of the least favorite wines of the night.
