Taurasi Aglianico 2016

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2016 pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with mostly dark fruit: black cherry, plum, purple flowers, animale and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff. Drink now through 2041. — a month ago

Taurasi Aglianico just doesn’t get the respect it deserves from the general wine loving public. But that’s okay, as long as they leave it, and also all the Aglianico del Vulture and Sagrantino di Montefalco, to those of us who love it, works for me…
