Blind Tasting Friday session at ES (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Poured into decanter and drank over an hour. Appearance is deep inky ugly black colour, with lots of coarse sediments in decanter. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of mushrooms, dark chocolate, sour plums and raisins. Developed. On the palate, dry, medium- acidity, high alcohol, dry coarse high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavor intensity, with flavours of mushrooms, dark chocolate, sour plums and raisins. Acceptable quality. My first time trying an Italian Primitivo. Can drink now, this tastes quite developed already and I feel that it is unlikely to get any better with further ageing.

Molto fruttone marmellatoso ed alcolico, ma rimane piacevole, anche se berne una bottiglia sarebbe davvero difficile
