Default A Mano Primitivo

Anybody try this recently? The first few bottle of this impressed me.
The most recent ones have not. Vintage?

You probably didn't let it breath long enough.

OK Serious reply. I agree with your comments. I have tried the 2002 and 2003
and found them nowhere near as quaffable as the earlier vintages. Actually I
felt they were a bit jammy.

There is one Primitivo that is always good, whose maker's name escapes
me...

I doubt that I'll be buying A Mano any more....
