Interesting Aglianico! 2 hours in the decanter. 8 years old wine and I think it's ready to go. Smell - minerals, graphite ( very nice combo), vanilla, mint, milk chocolate, cedar, oak. No fruits?! Hmm...one more sip. I don't detect any, red or black, but it doesn't mean the aromas are boring. Quiet the opposite! Taste? Oh yes, we have sweet flavors of black cherry, red cherry, and blackberry, milk chocolate.Spice here and there and not too much more. It doesn't mean that the wine is boring. Quaite the opposite. Very juicy. Nice balance, very enjoyable with long bittersweet finish ( green olives here?)
Decanter - 88 points
