Tasting - Cortenova Primitivo

Name: Cortenova Primitivo
Variety: Primitivo (Zinfandel clone)
Country: Italy
Region: Puglia
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95

Winery Review:
Dar, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure. Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and cheeses.

My Review:
Chocolate nose, lots of heat and tannins in the body, not well balanced.  Had a sort of fruity and jammy taste.

I tried this alone without food.
