Decanted and drank over three days. Wonderful nose of deep dark licorice. Big firm dryish tannins overwhelming the palate at this point, but a wonderful backbone that will probably show itself in another few years. i suggest waiting 3-5 years on this for another try. 90 for now, but likely will be higher, later.

Ordered a carafe of this off the menu at Maialino in NYC. This was pretty nice. It's still quite young, but there's a nice balance to it. Darker fruits, some of the loamy and forest floor. It's more old world in nature. A decent acidity which makes me think it's built to go a bit longer. Tasty.

Mushroom, tar and earthiness on the nose. Dark fruit, mushroom earthiness with a long finish. Firm tannins and great structure. Decanted for almost two hours. This is a powerful, full bodied beast from Southern Italy showing the finest quality of aglianico. Great wine!
