Rather luscious aromas of inky black fruit compote. Waves of morello cherry and dried flowers lap up against each other. The earthy tones so characteristic of Primitivo are present, but engulfed in the sweet vanilla impact of 12 months in barrel. Beautiful depth and weight on the palate, delivering notes of chocolate, cloves and tobacco. A ripe, heavy wine with a strong note of alcohol on the finish. Will be interesting to watch this develop.
