Smelled syrupy, berry-like? Tasted sweet, filled mouth tannins at the back. Charles says fine tannins. Had with cumin lamb noodles, went pretty well. Charles says I thought it was spicy at first sip.

Earthy, funky in a good way. Could be cellared.

Mmm- tobacco and beef fat on a Friday night.

Like the last sip of espresso before a Neapolitan shoot out, this wine is all umami complexity: Tar, black pepper and fig combine in rich, mature flavors of dried red fruit that leave your mouth feeling cool and refreshed. Pour it with grilled pork.

The 2006 Negroamaro Maime is more powerful and burly than the 2007. Cured meats, smoke, licorice, earthiness and wild cherries are some of the notes that emerge from this distinctive red. Elements of rusticity run through the wine. The bold, extroverted personality may not be for everyone, but there is no shortage of personality and sheer character here. Firm tannins build on the virile finish.

Big wine from Puglia. Great with food. Needs to breathe.

Rich, meaty-earthy nose with spices, leather and a hint of mint. Dark fruit is the base but not prominent. #velvety mouthfeel with sophisticated tannins on a long finish. Give it an hour to open up. A great wine that would pair well with a Bolognese red sauce or a steak. #negroamaro is worth further attention.
