This is a great Primitivo. Very impressed. Big cherry and raspberry notes. I can taste the oak, like a Cali cab. Very intense and deep.

PnP. Dark red color. Cherries, stewed red fruit, and a little alcohol on the nose. Refined on the palate with dark fruit. Lovely texture and well balanced. Sticks to the palate with a complex finish. Very happy.

Very long finish and concentrated. Full bodied wine and smooth. Oak, cherry and tobacco smells. Recommend if you like a bold wine with long finish

Grabbed this from my ‘use for cooking’-shelf and tried a glass while I was stirring.
Actually, this was quite nice. Great dark fruit, Good amount of oak, some rocky/spicy/volcanic seasonings.
A very good daily drinker!

Mild salt, smooth with light acidity, fairly deep with an initial sweetness that develops into citrus.

Big ripe berries with a hint of vanilla on the end. Yummy!

Schönes Rot, Geruch nach Beeren, Früchten und Gewürze, feine Tannine, runder Abgang.
