Bocca Di Lupo Castel del Monte Aglianico 2014

Oaky, big Aglianico. Very structured with lots of tannins. Something vegetal in the finish. Probably should have let it age a few more years but very enjoyable nonetheless. — 6 years ago

Riserva Il Falcone Castel del Monte Rosso 2009

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 9 years ago

I drank this after using an aerator. Immediately scent of braised beef and fresh rubber on the nose. Meaty flavor on the way down. Truly is best wine under $5 at TJ's — 8 years ago

9.0

Reminiscent to me of Priorat crossed with Montalcino, this wine has tea, licorice, rhubarb and berry aromas with tons of candied cherry flavor on the palate and a nice leathery tannic grip. — 7 years ago

Primitivo di Manduria 2010

Wow, what a deal at < $20 / bottle
Wine spectator says
#69 of top 100 of 2014.
A burly, brambly red, underscored by tarry smoke and underbrush notes, offering flavors of blackberry coulis, herb-marinated black olive, grilled mushroom and ground spice. This shows muscle that recommends it to short-term cellaring, made accessible by integration and balance. Drink now through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
