For under $20, the 2007 Primus from Chile’s Veramonte, this 14.5% alcohol red scored 17+ Dionysian points out of 20.
Pepper, spice, blackberry, black raspberry and smoky oak all linger on the nose. At 10 years old, this wine needed a full decade to mature and round out.
We enjoyed it with a basic beef dish on a really cold night in New Jersey. I suggest you age your Primus at least six to ten years. I n Vino Veritas.
