Monday, December 10, 2007 - Jerry is leaving us (Primitivo NYC): From Magnum this is open and giving apon pouring with great animale notes adding complexity to the earth, roasted raspberry, clean leather and old baking spice notes that dominate the nose. With air intriguing notes of iron and clay emerge. This has entered it's drinking window with soft yet intact acidity and layered, tender tannins. The fruit has a touch of candied ripeness yet offers a faint herbal note up front which gains through the midpalate leading toward a blond tobacco note on the finish. This remains elegant and balanced with a long finish. Restrained and subtle and in need of more attention than it got tonight. Drink through 2016
