Friday, 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.
