  Nose is fairly muted, both right after opening and a day later. Good color, palate is fairly bright with acidity but that also is a bit muted. Flavor is massive sour cherries and some slight meaty component. It's a good mid week meal wine.

  No notes taken.
  
  Ok but not a rock star Agli by any means/shape/form.
  
  On the thin side and not very bright or well integrated.
  
  With food.
  
  Recommend drink now.

  Day one this wasn't very enjoyable, but day two the character I was knew from the 2006 vintage started to show through and it became pleasant to drink, but still astringent. I'm not sure how good this will get, but it has promise.

  TN; Wines under $18: Aglianico. Tight on the nose. Eventually shows some dark cherries. Very tannic. The only wine on the table that seemed to need more time. Juicy tart dark cherry fruit but a wall of tannins. Somewhat generic I guess, I thought it was a Merlot blind. Never really seemed to open for me.

  Bright cherries and spice dominate on this medium bodied wine with a clean, medium length finish. Paired with ribeye smoked with red wine barrel chunks. Great value at fifteen bucks!
