  Deep red, bordering on purple. Nose of blackkberry and some leather,, but tightly wound even after an hour of decanting. Jammy and chewy with a leathery finish. I understand why others say it is sweet, but it is not so sweet that it is bad. I am enjoying it with lamb.

  The last bottle of a case. Just as the last bottle: not my type of wine. As somebody in one of the tasting notes put it: thick alcoholic grape juice with vanilla scent. It’s a shame that from 150 year old aglianico vines this is what you make of it. Ripe black cherries, blackberries, spices and (too much) vanilla on the nose. Sweet (jammy) fruit, cherries, chocolade. Feels overextracted

  Wow- 99 points form one critic, I just had to try it! Then I realized the pro in question rates on a different scale. It looks pretty dark in the glass, but there’s an effervescence appearing on the top that concerns me- either a tainted glass or something in the wine. On the nose I’m getting currants, cherry and bramble. The palate is quite sweet, with layered blackberry jam/blackcurrant reduction. This wine is very thick and juicy, loaded with fruit extract. There’s a nice dose of tannins that gently appear on the midpalate, melding with the dark fruits and carrying the wine to a nice, balanced finish of black berries, black currants and black tea leaf. There’s a Ribena note right at the end that I’m enjoying. This is a solid 91 pointer that will drink nicely till 2024. I’m going 4 stars at $30 for this Aglianico.
