Costarossa Primitivo di Manduria

Gorgeous wine. Very balanced.

Pleasant enough, but nothing special

Not the best i’ve had, but pretty decent

Nice depth of flavour with sweet after notes

Rich, sweet flavours with little tannin

Tasted a lot better after aerating
Moreish

Fruity and spicy

Not for me ... it was better after breathing for an hour, warmed, and with a big chuck of cheese, but for me it was too light, and just something about it I didn’t like. The wife liked it ....

They've not shied away from the new oak here, coconuts and vanilla. Back to the familiar prunes and winter spices in the mouth. Fairly simple, very enjoyable
