Tuoksussa kuivattua hedelmää ja tammitynnyrikypsytyksen tuomaa vaniljaisuutta. Maku on erittäin täyteläinen, pureksittavan paksu, kypsän hedelmäinen, rusinainen, pippurinen. Hehkuviini miedommilla prosenteilla.

2015 Loved this. Full bodied, smooth and juicy. Great surprise as I would have never looked at this. Little pepper on the end, but delightful. Definitely worthy consideration in the future.

Way too sweet for me. Gives a bad name to Primitivo.

Experience has told me that a wine with a nose like a sweaty crotch usually has the palate of a morning flower after an evening rain. This one would benefit from some aging, it is sweeter than most zinfandels but has that nice classic peppery spice I look for.
