Black plum, slate, and mint. Silky smooth tannins, but a little watery on the mid-palate. Paired well with black olives.

Heavy mouthfeel, lush fruit, and a deep, lingering finish. This complex, off-dry charmer is swimming with berries and spice. A must-drink.

Very nice with tomato based dishes. Lots of plums and prunes. By itself it seems almost a bit burnt, but the color is deep@purple

Great stone fruit! And apparently I love Zin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice color. Pretty. Not much to smell. Plenty of fruit on the tongue. Syrup. But dry enough. Berry and cherry is the main flavor.

At its peak - probably best Primitivo I’ve had.

I didn’t care for this wine, although it was better with food (spigets mit tomat). Hubby of course loved it bcz it’s quite acidic. Nice complexity, full bodied. just too tart for me.
