A little alcohol, tart fruits, something sage like (perhaps) on the nose. Soft, supple mouth feel. A bit tart and bitter but plenty of fruit. May be a bit oxidized from the color test. Nice licorice and smoke finish. A bit of ink. A pretty decent wine but not enough sparkle and snap for my type of Syrah.

Primaterra Primitivo 2007
Puglia, 13.5%
Imported by Domaine Select Wine Estates, New York

Oaky, wet cork, and olive nose. Hint of floral. Dark crimson color. Intense flavor. Anise and dry stone fruit. Smokey and a little bitter. Heavy tannins. Not much like CA Zin but a strong, good Italian cousin.
