Köttig doft men apelsinskal och krossade bär. Ett viss etanolig alkoholdoft som förtar. Smaken är druvtypisk. Generös med svartvinbärsgelé som tydlig smakreferens.

Not a typical Primativo (Zinfandel). Plums and spice on the nose. Cherry, coffee and tobacco on the pallet. Hint of sweetness. Long finish. Interesting.

And now for something completely different. Primitivo is supposed to be an ancestor of Zinfandel but this is nothing like it. Perfumed spicy red fruit (persimmon?), ripe but elegant, in a low aciditic, barely tannic immediate style. Fascinating and confusing all at once.
