Bright acidity, subtle length. Lemon, melon, no oak, almond. Very elegant! — 13 days ago

This was an excellent wine. It’s probably only my second outing with Primitivo di Manduria. It pours a beautiful thick purple in the glass. It has a decent nose. But the flavors are quite wonderful and powerful. There’s raisins berries plums and maybe a hint of vanilla or tobacco. There’s some acidity. And a decent finish. I will absolutely be buying this again, as well as other Primitivo PDM wines. It went perfectly with the elk steaks we paired it with. — a month ago

Tannins. Light to medium. I love shopping for good values in over priced shops. — 2 months ago

This was one of the better Brunelli I have tried this year. Structured for the long run showing laser like focus, precision, cherry, berry fruit with an inky, cedar, menthol spice followed by tobacco. Could drink this all night. — a day ago

So. Damn. (Elegantly). Crushable. Rangpur lime, a petrol-y olive oil, memories of a summer fruit pie, a sprinkle of tarragon, crisp mineral-y tang that fades into a beautiful calcium carbonate lime zest finish and a hit of aromatic joint…oh, wait… — 23 days ago

Beautiful red berry, rosy aromatics with a hint of black pepper and tar.
Lean with tamer tannins than expected.
Very fun first experience with Caremark:)

Really quite a fantastic Brunello from an obviously great producer. In a great place at ~9 years but no rush. Lots of refined red fruit on the nose. Manages to get the balance and tension between fruit, earth, and acid nearly perfect. Finish is slightly less expansive and long than I was hoping, and the tannins are a bit unintegrated. But those are nits - delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. Also appreciate the 13.5%. — 2 months ago
