Decanted 1.5 hours. Upon decanting pleasant cherry aroma w/rich garnet color. Beautiful pungent fresh nose of heavy cherries w/strong legs. Flavor of light tra, big plus & cherries w/terrific finish. I love this grape it never disappoints! Appetizer: Montegrappa Cheese w/Fig Entrée: Skirt Steak w/Balsamic BBQ Sause - Great match of wine & food.

100% Aglianico del Vulture. Bright, med + ruby. Clean, med + to intense aromas of overripe black cherry, red raspberry, blue plum, aromatic herbs, sweet tobacco, smoke and sweet spices. Aged for one year in multiple-use French oak barrels of various sizes. Dry, with sweet, juicy red fruit. The acidity is med to med +, the tannins are med to med (+), smooth and polished. The alcohol is med + (13.5%). Med + flavor intensity with a long, fresh, juicy finish. An incredible value in the high $10s and low $20s, this has several years of fine drinking left.

Full body, lively but pleasant acidity, taninns that are present but surprisingly smoth for the age. Long finish. Black fruit, chocolate and smoked notes. Great cost to quality.

Such an outstanding value. Began as somewhat oxidized then blossomed into everything you could ask for from an Aglianico. 😇

Really drinkable and flexible wine. Went well with grilled tuna, for example. Good QPR
