1978 Notarpanaro Rosso Del Salento - Like sliding under the covers with a loved one on a special night. Sometimes you know when you put your hand on a bottle that it is going to sing, this was an old Grailey’s  wine that has been staring at me every time I go into the cellar. It poured out of the bottle like silk, the nose was indescribable and it just bowled me over ……I’ve never smelt, never mind tasted,  a 78 aglianico…..the palate… just silky soft fruit, elegant nuances of  truffle, slight hint tea spices , but a long lingering finish of lavender and fresh flowers, this wine was alive in every sense…if it was a woman it would be Doris Day in her late forties …maturing  yet still pure class.
