Not sure what happened in the past year to this bottle. Good, not great. Lost its interesting balance of Merlot, Cab and Aglianico interplay. Not a bad bottle, just not up to expectations.

Solid, drinking wonderfully now. Integrated and balanced with aromas of fruit and spice, palate of sweet cherry pie and hints of cassis, dark chocolate, coffe and toast, but with soft tannis and a medium finish. Aglianico adds a creamy mouthfeel, along with the flavor complexities to this blend of Merlot, Cab and Aglianico.

Excellent blend of Merlot, Cab and Aglianico. Was OK sipping alone, but really excelled with pasta and marinara sauce.

Dry red blend. Strong blackberry and pepper.

This wine is hit or miss depending on the vintage. The 2004 was great. This one is disjointed and not well balanced.
