About the Wine: Many wines are meant to be easy and accessible to novice drinkers while others are more specific. Some are only good with certain foods, or have to be open for a specific period of time before they can be drunk, or are simply too heady for those with undeveloped palates. This wine is an example of one the more difficult wines to sample. It requires a fairly developed palate and has to be open for at least and hour before drinking for the maximum experience.
About THIS Wine: In the glass Primus is violet with a garnet rim. The nose is remarkably heavy for the lightness of the color. Spice is dominant with strong notes of jammy raspberry, raisins, earth, smoke, and cherries. It is heavy and deeply layered. The palate is rich with syrupy smooth red fruit, spices, and a meaty flavor. Spice lingers on the palate along with supple tannins and mild dryness.
Drinking This Wine: Experienced red wine drinkers will enjoy as a sipping wine. Those with less developed palates should enjoy with red meats.
Overall Impression: This is not a wine for the novice drinker. For those with more developed palates and an appreciation for dry red wine it is a steal.
