Medium garnet colored, with a medium viscosity (13.5% ABV).  The nose has medium  intensity aromas of desiccated cherry, strawberry and rhubarb crumble, chocolate powder, fig, dates, and Maduro leaf.  It’s developing nicely, if not a touch fast.  The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a medium body, and medium tannins that are fully integrated.  Medium intensity flavors of mulled cherry, baked rhubarb, fig, chocolate, dates and tobacco.  The finish is super smooth, with a touch of tartness keeping things fresh while the primary fruit flavors meld with the tertiary development nicely.  It’s a tasty drop, but I feel it is at peak and needs to be drunk sooner rather than later.  91 points from me for this Aglianico.  It runs $25 and gets 4 stars.  Salut….
