David: The Aglianico grape was brought to Italy by the Greeks and became famous during the height of the Roman Empire and makes dark, tannic wines. This one is garnet in color with a nose of cedar, cherries and currents. Medium to light in body, with high acidity and firm but not overpowering tannins. Finishes a little quick with slight spiciness and perhaps mild earthy notes lingering.
Score: 4.0/5
Jessica: My first impression was an explosion of flavors in my mouth, followed by a mouth-puckering dryness. The scent of cedar is distinct, as are the dark fruits. The tannins are strong, but not overly bitter.
Score: 3.9/5
