Cool, easy to drink, deep flavored, great wine. Lots of raspberry, chocolate and coffee notes. Would definitely buy again.

What a wonderful surprise I found in my cellar. Didn't think it would last.

Dark purple in color with a purple rim.

Fruity on the nose with oak, wood, vanilla, blackberries, caramel, blueberries, figs, sweet cherries, strawberry pie, black currants, cloves, nutmeg, spices, black pepper, leather and metals.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.

Off dry and Fruity on the palate, with blackberries, blueberries, raisins, figs, earth, oak, vanilla, Sherry, dark chocolates, caramel, tobacco, coffee, alcohol and black pepper.

Medium Plus on the finish with nice, firm tannins and cherries.

This 10 year old Primitivo surprised me very much. Still held its color and nice on the palate and nose. Showing Little age, but not much.

Nicely balanced and enjoyable by itself or with Italian food. I paired it with pasta.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
