2010 Papale Linea Oro Primitivo Di Manduria

image

One of the nicest, if not the nicest, Primitivo I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.  Almost black in colour and featuring beautiful aromas of cherry, vanilla and chocolate, this is an absolute must have! Dense flavours of cola and cherry dominate the palate with a hint of residual sugar accounting for the smooth character.  Full bodied, wonderfully balanced with a long finish.  An absolute Mike’s Must Have! Drink tonight with BBQ ribs or a hearty penne pasta.
