2010 Fattoria Galardi Terra di Lavoro - Italy, Campania, Roccamonfina IGT (7/22/2021)
Decanted 3 hrs. I was really worried when I pulled the cork, it was very funky smelling. No worries though, as the wine itself seemed fundamentally sound. After the first half glass, we clearly have a burly Aglianico (20% Piedirosso) that is going to coast to its 30th birthday. While the structure was pretty massive, it maintained a sense of elegance and focus. Equal parts blackberry, smoke, volcanic rock / charcoal hold their own off the massive walls of structure, barely, but they do. Give this time, lots of time, but if you have say more than three, give it a go. Otherwise hold. (94 pts.)
