PRIMITIVO, 2005, from Puglia, Italy. Hard to imagine that this grape is related to zin. Here are the comments of the Uncles. Uncle P: "Un-drinkable". Jimmy: "AUGHHH!". Uncle E: "it smells like cat pee". This was not well received. The rating was 0-1.
Sorry.

We agree. We tasted it and corked it for future cooking. This one got 90 from WA.
90 Points - Antonio Galloni (The Wine Advocate)
"The 2005 Primitivo from Botromagno reveals a plump, super-ripe personality loaded with smoke, dark cherries, earthiness, and leather. It offers notable complexity at this level. This wine will find its greatest admirers among readers who enjoy a full-bodied, very ripe style of wine. Primitivo is believed to be a relative of Zinfandel. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009."
