Still very tannic, but not in a way that interferes with the fundamental drinkability of the wine. That is, if you act like a serious taster, breathing in while you slosh a mouthful of wine over your tongue, you will find yourself wincing, almost in pain, from the tannin. But if you drink like a normal person, the tannin will be very present but not unpleasant. And behind the tannin, there is a slightly prickly, herbal, cherry fruitiness. We have bought a lot of this and don't have any regrets so far.

Tät blodröd färg. Doft av mörka bär, körsbär, oliver, viol, rök, peppar, tobak, choklad och jord. Frisk syra. Bra bett i tanninerna. Fylligt. Något eldig trots 13 %. Relativt lång smak.

Totally agree with last tasting note, nose is very recognizable as aglianico with pine needles and smoke. Taste is getting very easy, quite sweetish and raisin-like. Nothing off but a bit run of the mill. Glad this was my last bottle, obviously not for long time cellaring.

High acid but pretty smooth tannins in this a bit discreet, still yummi and fruitdriven wine. Nice and fit now. I see no further storage potential.

A good full-bodied red, and a decent value, though this one was lacking a bit of the freshness of previous bottles.
