Primus Vineyards

First had this wine in Holland, where it is considerably more expensive, and seems to have become quite popular, and had indeed driven the price up. the oldest I can find now is 2005. The 2000 was quite good, and now...

I've had corked wines, wines with zero nose, wines with zero taste, but never a wine that smelled like dirty socks in a high school gym locker. I'd be careful on this one.

An earthy, rich red with a lovely dry finish. Perfect with steak, porcini ravioli, or any hearty dish. Was surprised to find out it was not an expensive cab!

What's New in Booze - 9.1 out of 10 The Veramonte Primus is a blend of Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. The best grapes from the top vineyard parcels are carefully sorted, destemmed, and fermented separately...

chilean bordeaux blend. kiss of oak. nice little quaffer. there is so much chocolate on this flavor profile it's ridiculous. the most chocolate I have ever tasted in a wine. definitely decant it...

Drinking really well right now. Had with steak and it complemented nicely. Dark, earthy, woody nose but not overpowering. Smooth, dark fruit, with decent tannin and mellow finish. Had let breath for about 30 minutes....
