Pillastro 2009 Primitivo

Variety: Primitivo
Region: Puglia
Vintage: 2009
Closure:  Screwcap
Colour:  Darker purple
Alcohol: 13.5%
Bouquet: Horse stall, soaked stall aromas
Flavour: Tannin is good and nice length. However, the flavour is rather flat. Plum and raspberry flavours with not much to excite
Points: 82 (3+7+10+6+6+50)
Notes:  This was a big disappointment as I really enjoyed 2 1/2 years ago when I bought my first. The nose was recorded as the same but the overall flavour profile is sadly underwhelming.
