Intriguing nose with aromas of black cherries, plums, dried figs, damp earth, leather, espresso and smoky notes. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied, savoury, leathery fruit flavours, lively acidity and firm, grainy tannins. Very good length on the finish with flavours of sour cherries, dried fruits, earthy and savoury herbs all wrapped up with drying tannins. ⁣

A different type of Aglianico for me, slightly rustic, earthy with more dried fruit than fresh fruit, lots of savoury notes and those trademark tannic structure of the varietal. It keeps getting better The longer it breathes. Definitely a very tasty wine experience. Cheers my wine friends.
