The 2015 Primitivo 'Imperio LXXIV' displays an opaque, inky color and opens to aromas of blackberries and cherries woven together with balsamic, violets, herbs, spices and minerals all slowly taking shape in the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied with a round plush texture yielding flavors of blackberries, dark cherries and spices through the seamless finish. This significantly benefits with some extended air contact, however it will ultimately need another year in bottle. (Best 2018-2021) - March, 2017 (JD)
