"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2007 on 11.05.2011 with 90 of 100 points.
"This is a really great version, resulting from a decidedly positive vintage, but also from particularly skilful winemaking. It has a very intense, vivid and concentrated ruby colour, with purplish reflections. Its nose is intense , inviting and ethereal, with evident alcoholic notes that underpin the olfactory profile, highlighting the sensations of sour cherries in brandy, oriental spices, vanilla and tobacco. It is rich, monumental and complex on the palate, with dense tannins that enrich the powerful, tightly-knit fruit. The finish is very long and warming. This is a great Mediterranean red wine, to be served at 18°C, accompanying it with baked pasta with meat sauces, sartù di riso (Neapolitan rice timbale), or roast lamb."
yr. 2001 Doctorwine:
90 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2001 on 11.05.2011 with 90 of 100 points.
"Better than the 2000, and perhaps the best version ever. It has a deep, concentrated ruby colour. Its nose is inviting, clean and precise, with classic notes of sour cherries in brandy and faint hints of cocoa. The flavour is full, firm and rich, with well-delineated tannins and powerful fruit that does not, however, lack finesse: a great Southern Italian red. Serve it at 18°C with beef or lamb stews, pappardelle (large, broad ribbon pasta) with hare sauce or mature Caciocavallo Podolico cheese."
yr. 2004 Doctorwine:
88 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2004 on 11.05.2011 with 88 of 100 points.
"An excellent version, the result of a well-balanced and decidedly worthwhile vintage. It has an intense, concentrated ruby colour and inviting, ethereal yet well-knit perfumes, with well-defined fruit offering sensations of sour cherries and even blood oranges. It is full-flavoured, rich without being heavy: the alcohol is well-integrated with the fairly well-balanced fruit. The finish is long and moreish. Serve it at 18°C with lasagne with meat sauce, a beef stew, or mature Caciocavallo Podolico cheese."
yr. 2006 Doctorwine:
88 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2006 on 11.05.2011 with 88 of 100 points.
"This was very convincing, partly as a result of a rather good vintage. It has a very intense and quite concentrated ruby colour. Its nose is appealing and particularly spicy, with the classic well-defined sour cherry notes against a background of blood oranges and tobacco. The flavour is forthright, with fruit that is very well-structured and especially tight and dynamic, with dense yet gentle tannins and a good level of alcohol that holds any excesses in check. Serve it at 18°C with tagliatelle with Bolognaise sauce, lamb’s offal or spicy salamis and sausages."
yr. 2005 Doctorwine:
87 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2005 on 11.05.2011 with 87 of 100 points.
"A decent version, in spite of the fact that the year was not particularly favourable, partly because Rubino vinified it with particular care in order to maintain its primary aromas. The colour is a very intense and lively ruby, with faint purplish reflections. The nose is fresh and elegant, with very positive citrus-like and sour cherry notes. It is quite full on the palate; the moderate acidity underpins well-structured fruit and the tannins are barely hinted at. Serve it at 18°C with typical pasta dishes of the Salento Peninsula with meat sauces or with salted pork dishes in general."
yr. 2008 Doctorwine:
86 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2008 on 11.05.2011 with 86 of 100 points.
"This was a cooler year and so the wine is well-balanced, but also less complex. It has a vivid ruby colour of good intensity, with flashing purplish highlights. Its perfumes are intense and quite inviting, highly characterised by fruity, primary sensations of sour cherries, blood oranges and blackberries. In the background one finds notes of vanilla and faintly smoky tones. Serve it at 18°C, together with rigatoni all’amatriciana, panissa vercellese (meat and bean risotto) or braised meats."
yr. 2000 Doctorwine:

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2000 on 11.05.2011 with 86 of 100 points.
"It has a deep ruby colour with some garnet reflections. Its bouquet is appealing and alcoholic, with notes of sour cherry preserve and of tamarind, and with spicy hints underlying. Its flavour is full and rich in alcohol, with fairly well integrated tannins and a long, warming finish, in which the aftertaste has just a touch of bitterness. Serve it at 18°C with spicy salted pork dishes, goulash or braised oxtail."
yr. 2002 Doctorwine:
84 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2002 on 11.05.2011 with 84 of 100 points.
"A lighter version, in line with the vintage from which it comes. It has a lively, quite concentrated ruby colour. Its bouquet is intense and fairly ethereal, with some evolved notes and hints of tamarind and stewed plums. It is full-flavoured, with quite evident acidity; the tannins are a tiny bit coarser than in other vintages. It closes with a faint but noticeable bitterish aftertaste. Serve it at 18°C, accompanying it with spicy salted pork dishes, egg pasta with a meat sauce, or roast lamb."
yr. 2003 Doctorwine:

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute Rubino Visellio Salento Primitivo IGT, Puglia, Italy" from the vintage 2003 on 11.05.2011 with 83 of 100 points.
"The product of a torrid drought year, it has a very deep, concentrated ruby colour. Its nose is ethereal and alcoholic, with notes of sour cherries in brandy and leather. It is full-flavoured, with warmth on the front palate and rather aggressive - slightly green - tannins, the result of the grapes becoming dehydrated. The finish is alcoholic and slightly bitter. Serve it at 20°C, so that the slightly warmer temperature can help soften the tannins. Accompany it with any kind of salami or sausages."
