Primo Estate Il Briccone Shiraz Sangiovese 2002 (review)

79 points

South Australia. 14%

The 2001 was previously well reviewed on this site. This is Shiraz Sangiovese blend (with a bit of Barbera, Nebbiolo and Cabernet) that sees no new oak, there seems to be a tiny bit of oak influence but no oak flavour.

There is plenty of sweet fruit, indeed plenty of sweetness. Eventually this becomes very cloying. Too commercial.
