Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas of black cherry, plum and black currant followed by aromas
of blueberry, violet, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, cocoa, clove, mace, black
pepper and eucalyptus. The mouth has very good correspondence to the nose,
a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense
flavors, agreeable. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of
black cherry, black currant and plum. A well made wine. Federico Primo ages
for 12-14 months in barrique followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
