Michael Ros Winery Aglianico 2022

Deep ruby and nearly opaque, this 2022 Texas High Plains Aglianico shows an expressive nose of licorice, forest floor, ripe blueberry, and boysenberry, layered with subtle oak-driven notes of cedar and baking spice. Full-bodied on the palate, it delivers black cherry, dried cranberry, black truffle and dark fruits alongside a distinctive biscotti-like toastiness. Firm, structured tannins and bright acidity provide balance and lift, leading to a long, savory finish. Bright acidity typical of the Texas High Plains lifts the wine, keeping it balanced despite its density. Savory elements—iron, dried herbs, and a faint smoky edge—carry through a long, persistent finish marked by dark fruit, spice, and earthy depth. A powerful yet polished wine with both immediate appeal and excellent aging potential.
