Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Aglianico 2013
Geoff Hardy uses fruit from across a number of regions in Australia to craft this Aglianico.

On the palate an initial darkness, backed up by a briskness and liveliness; good body, texture, threads of silken tannin through to the finish.
Savoury, more-ishly so, good to go now and will server will for up to 7-8 years (if you can refrain from drinking it that is). 92
