The 2006 Primitivo Cubardi offers up dark plums, sweet spices, tobacco and worn-in leather, all of which come together on a mid-weight frame. The 2006 shows good secondary development in its aromas and flavors, and is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. I especially like the way the wine freshens up in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. Importer: A.I. Selections, Astoria, NY; tel. (718) 777-2243
