Really a mind expanding wine. Would never have guessed Aglianico or 2008 or 15%. Quite herby and earthy but with some core of fruit too - long finish with good acid. Lovely mouthfeel as well. And a great pairing with Marcella Hazan’s long cooked bolognese. — a year ago
Nose is spice and green pepper. Pepper goes away with air. Replaced by black pepper.
Palate is huge hit of spice. Incredibly fresh hand crushed wild blackberries. Super delicious. Amazing silky texture. Spice integrates with air. Amazing entry level wine. More perfect mid season cherry with air. Cherry pit as well.
Long cherry finish. — 2 years ago

If the late Paolo Bea ever made a Brunello, it might resemble something like this. The 2008 Colleone BdM pours a deep garnet; slightly browning with some rim variation. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. Some light signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with a mostly desiccated fruit profile: cherries, dried red flowers, tomatoes, balsamic, leather, and spices. Definitely some VA; “it must be Italian!” On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. The notes from the nose are confirmed. The finish is long and layered. I want more time with wine; it’s a story teller. This 2008, compared to the 2006 La Torre from the other night, just has a bit more structure to it and having enough experience with both vintages, that tracks. Drink now and through 2028. — 9 months ago
Nose has a bit of poop. Mostly blows off with air.
Palate is grippy blackberry fruit. Quite young.
Let’s see where this goes
As it opens sort of an Aglianico version of good dolcetto. Sweet fruit. Great spice. Not super complex. — 2 years ago

L'odore è come un tramonto nella gola delle montagne, e il sapore è come la carezza del vento marino costiero. L'ho provato solo un po 'finora. Cosa succederà quando berrò un paio di bicchieri di questo meraviglioso vino? Sono entusiasta, anche se sospetto che sia tutto perché sono di ottimo umore. ❤️ — 3 years ago
