An oddball flavor that we have not had before... and it's not entirely pleasant. Some people think Zinfandel descends from the Primativo grape, but we drink a lot of Zin and it isn't in this line.

Pnp a glass and then left the bottle open for 2 days in the fridge before trying again. In managed to put on some weight and was great to drink. Has a lot of characteristics that remind me of an aged port except it's not sweet. Still pretty tannic so will lay the remaining bottles down for a couple of years before trying again.

A solid wine. Initially a bit austere, but then better after a few hours in the glass (and the next day). Sumptuous fruit-forward on entry with delicious dark and purple fruits. Good body with tannins present but kept in check. The secondary flavors actually went away on day 2 (initially with some olive tapenade type flavor). Definitely open to trying more primitivo.

A bit young and fruit forward, but good acidity and texture. Some balancing earth and leather came through with air.
