Leone de Castris Primitivo di Manduria "Santera" 2000
Puglia, ItalyRipe blackberry, cedar, earth, spicy game and prune nose with some leafy notes. Dry, somewhat rustic tannins but rich bodied with cedar, black cherry, black berry and pepper flavours. Good fruit and weight but somewhat too dry and tannic - needs a year or so to soften. Try with grilled kebabs. Tasted: 07 December 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $17.45 | 750ml | Specialty |
