Hofer Family Wines Aglianico 2020


I've got to give it to Marcus Hofer. He sent this wine through for a review last year and wasn't over the moon with my thoughts. Credit and respect to him for backing his product and saying indirectly, "It's better than that. Can you have another look?" Sure thing mate, I'd be happy to.

To be transparent, I didn't revisit the previous review until I finished writing this one. Every wine deserves its day in the sun and is reviewed without preconceived ideas. I tasted this wine over two days.

Aromas of red flowers and dried red petals move to blackberries, some leafiness and underripe green apple characters. It's firm and focused in the mouth. That tension needs some leverage to calm its muscle. Red currants, touches of lillipilly plus some aniseed roll through but there is a green tinge I just can't shake. A wine that certainly needs food beside it but perhaps some bottle age will mesh things a little better. 

Drink 2024 to five years+
