2004 Feudi di San Marzano Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria Old Vines

Deep red. Delicious nose from the start. Ripe strawberry jam and spice with dried cranberry. There is a darker quality like hot black volcanic rock, charcoal and a lifted fragrant blackberry-infused black tea. Big and voluptuous with grainy and gritty leathery tannin broadly coating the palate. Sweet jam on medium plus bodied frame with a bright maraschino cherry sweet-tart character that keeps the wine from being heavy. More black tea on finish with almond dark chocolate bar and cherry pie.

$40
