Cantina del Taburno "Fidelis" Aglianico del Taburno 2001

Deep red.

Deep, smoke/pumice aromatics, with toasted nut, garrigue and a black fruit character (dried fig?) I can't define.

Round and gentle in the mouth, particularly for Aglianico. Nice mid-palate flesh. Not incredibly concentrated, but very nicely put together, individual and extremely tasty. Finishes reasonably long with a light tannic chew. Aromatic notes mirrored in the mouth.

$18, stupid deal.
