4 Stars & 86 pts - Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews (2021 vintage)
"Full, deep purple with a ruby hue, lighter on the rim. The nose is full, with a rustic expression of ripe plum, blueberry tart, cola nut, vanilla and spice. Full-bodied, plum, blueberry and cola nut aromas intermixed with rich herbs, clove and cinnamon. The tannin is lightly grainy and forms a fine framework. Bright acidity provides vibrancy to a rich palate and carries a dark-toned finish. Match this with grilled meat and lamb kebab over the next 3-4 years. 13.5% alc. Apr 2023"

90 Points 4.5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit (2021 vintage)
"Beautifully fragrant and inviting, the bouquet shows dark cherry, anise, roasted nut and dark mushroom characters. It;s juicy and fleshy on the palate with rounded mouthfeel and silky flow, making it friendly and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2023." (2019 vintage)

A very smooth red, having drunk it with both beef and venison. A great wine for pre diner with both a cheese selection and an afternoon drink.

Nice soft Primitivo, not serious, a bit one dimensional, fine summer drinking around the barbecue. Hints of warm Puglia summers!

Nice easy drinking Primitivo at a great price. Can be happily paired with a platter of cheese & cold meats or a char-grilled streak from the bar bee
