Pairings: Perfect for fish starters and light meat dishes.From the Apulia region of Italy, Primitivo (Zinfandel) is the signature grape on offer here. A full flavoured style. Deep maroon in colour, this has a powerful nose with notes of warm earth, leather, chocolate, black fruits, black olives and bay leaves. Quite spicy, there is good concentration throughout, while never losing focus over a lingering finish with very fine if slightly grainy tannins. Enjoy now and for the next six to eight years.
92 pts - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)Full brick-red with most of its purple tints gone, the bouquet is all about licorice, stony mineral/ferrous notes, a suggestion of dried blood. Primary fruit is somewhat subdued, with raisin/licorice nuances strongly evident.The palate is rich in the centre, full-bodied and ample on the tongue with abundant soft, powdery, drying tannins. Very ripe and plush. It's a style, and has its own appeal. (First bottle slightly oxidised; the second was fresher and much better)
