P: MF body; Rndish entry with ALMOST swtish frt met by finely TANNIC pucker which only somewhat resolves by most of the LONG, finely tannic finish which ULTIMATELY show bitterSWT flavors. Still in NEED of significant time (until '21, I'm guessing), though IF the frt holds, AMAZING potential @ this vendor's $26.95. 91 pts Vinous, 89 WE @ $25, & 14.5/20 Vinum. 14% ABV

Decanted 3 hours, and well rewarded. Tasted lovely, classic full bodied aglianico. A real bargain at $20.

Down to 2 bottles left. This wine has great QPR. I bought some 2008 reserve. I can't wait to try it.

What a value. I think you are hard pressed to find an Aglianico in this price range that is this good.
