It's austere, but that's why you bought a taurasi. Dried flowers, boysenberries, raspberries. Almost like an amarone. Well made; I think average score a tad low. Better than the 2016. — a year ago
2015: Outstanding Aglianico. Dominated by gobs of darker red fruit earlier on before picking up tertiary leather and graphite flavors. Rich and mouth coating and already drinking well, but clearly will get increasingly complex over time. $50 on Delectable. — 4 years ago

Love this wine now and will just continue to get better — 6 years ago
Слива, черноплодка, ежевика, кофе, кожа, специи, кора, земля, тертый лист, ментол, лёгкая горечь в послевкусии. Среднее уверенное тело, хорошая кислотность, чуть шершавые танины. Ещё очень молодо, пить можно, но рано. Напористо и ярко, с ещё активным дубом, экстрактивно, но не перегружено и свежо на финише. Атлетично, загорело, немного жарко и самоуверенно, с потенциалом. — 7 years ago
Griotte, black plum, glazed donut (sweet yeast dough), dried leaves, spearmint/mentuccia, nail polish remover (eth. ac.) Great value! — 8 years ago

Lovely. From Lorenzo's home region. With Adrienne & Mike. — 10 years ago
Deep garnet. Hawthorn, tart cherry, rose and tar, asphalt, forest floor, dried herbs, sanguine, oregano, thyme, fennel, rosemary. Well integrated acidity and tannins. Full body (14.5%). Great value 😍 called it Barolo La Morra (ignoring the dark color) #facepalm — 9 months ago
This was a wonderful surprise paired with my arancini and pasta. Light and airy with a hint of bubbles. You won’t be disappointed. — 3 years ago
There are so many good wines outside of Italy’s main regions (Piemonte, Veneto, Toscana, etc.) as well as grapes... and they are hardly known in North America. Aglianico is a unknown beast.
Earthy. Hints of liquorice. So much going on here.
For a youthful wine, it drinks well.

Great blend - one of my favorite dry blends for the price — 5 years ago
Yum, red forest fruits, spice, tea, nice tannins and a long finish, but I don’t think it has reached the 2010 levels — 7 years ago
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Good nose, dry, good balance, nice finish. Hard to put my finger on the distinct flavors... — 7 years ago
light but strong, pronounced oakiness with only mild tannins, a rosemary note; pairs nicely with spicy foods / red meat, without overpowering. — 8 years ago
Light dry body, paired with a subtle but great fruity finish; I'd buy it again. — 9 years ago

Great fruit forward. Low tannins. Very enjoyable. 2015 — 6 years ago
В носе легкая лаковая летучка, приподнимающая спелые ароматы ягод, которым вторит плотный и густой, но не тяжёлый вкус: ежевика, чёрная смородина, черничный пирог, малина, кедр, влажная хвоя, сухая мята. Ещё молодо и первично, с хорошей структурой и концентрацией, при этом естественно, мягко и обволакивающе, со сбалансированной кислотностью и витальными, но не агрессивными танинами. Рустично и не слишком тщательно отполировано, однако сочно, полно и естественно, с хорошей глубиной. Местами немного жарковато. — 7 years ago
