pulled this out just a few weeks since the last one and I got the sense on this one that it's losing structure quickly... very solid fruit still with decent acid but quickly seemed to be losing any mid/backend structure as it was open, but I will say that Hendry does this varietal as good as I've had

The bottle was gone immediately, our group enjoyed it to say the least. Deep purple with a very fine rose edge. Substantial fruit flavors with nice prickly middle and a tight dry tannin on the finish.

Definitely one of the best primitivos I've had. Nice dark fruit and med+ body. A bit higher alc than I generally prefer but the fruit in this kept it in better balance than expected. nice drinking window right now and didn't sense it was fading.

Nose has blackberry and some other dark fruit. Wine was closed off from the cellar (as to be expected) but as it came to temp, the palate was rich with creamy blackberry and I don't know, maybe some cranberry. It's a little dry on the back palate. In general I'm not a fan of Primitivo but Hendry and DaVero are changing my opinion.

Second bottle still good after 2 days. Consistent with prior notes. Crowd pleaser.
