Not sure where this bottle came from, it may have been part of a holiday gift basket. Popped and poured. Dried cherries and some black pepper on the nose. After about an hour in the glass I'm getting less dried red fruit and more grilled meat and some heat. Big dose of astringency in the mouth, very drying and hot. I'm getting some spice notes but it's tough to get past the dryness. Ok with food but overall I'm not loving this effort.

Must a hair of menthol to the nose, but in kinda a fascinating way. Menthol and dark black fruits. Palate is tighter and less sexed up than I remember it being, with lots more fruit structure. Interesting, at anniversary 20 its becoming more serious!

This wine did not work for me. The 2018 Aia Vecchia Lagone has harsh tannins and an unpleasant nose. I'm not sure if time will soften the harshness of the tannins, and I'm unwilling to wait.

찐찐이 느낌..당도도 좀 느껴지고..탄닌감은 중간..블랙베리,시거향..약간의 피망냄새..칠레까쇼같은 느낌도 나고..나쁘진 않지만 재구매 의사는 별로
