No, the vintage date of this wine is not an error. Just released, it is a selection of old-vine Primitivo grown south of Taranto and only now hitting the market. No one seems to know whether the fermentation was stopped by fortifying the wine or if it just stopped on its own as a result of the superlative richness of the must, but the fact remains that, with close to 14% of alcohol, it is as sweet as a great Recioto, a wine which it greatly resembles. Still an amazingly fresh ruby color, it features a decadent nose of blackberry jam, raisins, chocolate, and licorice, a texture of sheer satin, great warmth and roundness, a sweetness which never becomes cloying, precise and focused flavors, and a finish as long as the fade-out to "Hey Jude". The producer is negotiating with an importer for this and other wines, but it is presently available at Piero Selvaggio's Valentino restaurant in Santa Monica and at Alain Ducasse's Louis XV restaurant in Monte Carlo, for those willing to fling a few shekels around.保税价格￥ 4,780.00 -

Still in its infancy, this opaque red-coloured wine is very rich, juicy, and plummy on the nose, vibrant, poised and quite oaky. The attack is assertive and tannic, with richness and density, and it clearly needs time to shed its tightness. It's no heavyweight thanks to its fresh acidity, which keeps it polished and stylish, and there's ample energy and bite on the long finish.保税价格￥ 2,435.00 -

The 2017 Aglianico Bocca di Lupo opens slow, but it is worth waiting for, as time in the glass unlocks a delicate display of wild blackberry and currant, complemented by rosy florals and a hint of smoke. Its silky textures wash across the palate, carrying mineral-tinged black fruits and savory spices, while beneath, a coating of grippy tannin takes hold. This finishes youthfully structured and poised, yet it’s also packed full of tart wild berries laced with blue florals. The 2017 is already quite pleasurable today, but it should excel after only another year or two of cellaring.保税价格￥ 3,275.00 -
