Inky & impenetrable on Day 1. Day 2 took hours to open - slow ox 12+ hrs. Ultimately showed nicely w/understated elegance, like Ridge Zin. Mostly Primitivo but I believe they blend in some Negroamaro: just loads of red & mostly black fruit, huge extraction, but cohesive on palate. Nice interplay of fruit & spice. Wouldn’t touch this for 5 yrs
