About the Wine: Veramonte is a producer that needs no introduction, unless you don't know South American wine in which case Veramonte is a great Chilean producer. Primus is a line of bold, forward reds that generally lack any kind of subtlety and make no apologies for it.
About THIS Wine: It is opaque purple in the glass with a nearly opaque rim. My first question on smelling this wine was "What's the alcohol content?" It was 14.5% and it smells like it. Sweet tobacco, chocolate, and forest floor are all present on the nose. The palate is fruity with high acidity and moderately tannic finish that lingers.
Drinking This Wine: This needs steak, pasta, or something else as hearty as the wine is.
Overall Impression: If you are looking for something subtle and nuanced then don't look for it here. If you want something big and bold then this wine is good for the price.
