A very good choise for full bodied jammy wine lovers. Primitivo, also known as Zinfandel is not suited for everybody. This bottle might bring those people to other thoughts. 60 year old vines help a lot!

Surprisingly much better then 10 month before! Hardly any ruffness left. Silky tannins, elegant fruitiness. Nice woody background. Not fully bodied but definitely a wine with an interesting and mature structure. We can say that a lovely wine rose from the dark after one year in the cellar. The ugly duck seemed to be a swan;) It just needed a few more months.
