$$value-for-money. Deep ruby, mod nose intensity of black berries / cherries w prominent spicy cloves,cigar. High acid w mod tannin.cigar/tobacco even more distinct on palate compared to nose. No obvious tertiary yet for this 10 year wine. Medium finished. Good to drink now.

Puglia primitivo not a expensive but goes well w spicy food n maybe desert.

Image
full bodied, riped black plums. Acidic n tanin. Long finished
