  Cork was a bit funky when we opened it, thought for sure it was corked. However, the color was a beautiful ruby shade and did not look spoiled or show its age. Unfortunately this wine lacks structure and the finish rapidly disappears. Not worth $22 a bottle, but certainly worth drinking, just waited to long to enjoy this one.

  Robe bourgogne, sur les aromes de cerise, fraise, violette, fruit, chocolat. La bouche est représentative des arômes au nez. Astringent, à décanter 30min a 1h. Vin digeste, bon rapport qualité-prix.

  Your subtle Euro version of Zinfandel. Nice and everything seems to be in order (except maybe for the short finish), but it's entirely forgettable. Should work nicely with a dish you do not want to overshadow with a red.

  Pretty dark ruby color. Sweet notes of plum, caramel, dark cherries, dark berry jam and a touch of tobacco leaf. It's medium-full bodied, the alcohol is slightly recognizable and there is medium-low acidity and medium- tannin. A solid Primitivo that pairs well with simple food.

  Extremely sweet caramel nose, plums all over, some spices as well and unfortunately also alcohol - this just goes on the palate, quite simple and with an overwhelmingly sweet caramel note. This was not to my liking.
