Initial impressions were of bloody dusty, smoky aromas. A medium weight savoury palate with red fruits and savoury firm tannins although it is very young. I remember some years ago touring Tuscany with Peter Scudamore-Smith MW, who, at the time didn’t think any decent Sangiovese was produced in Australia. I think if anyone will do it it will be Coriole. They pioneered Sangiovese in Australia with the first plantings in 1985. This is a great food wine and a very good rendition of a new World Sangiovese.

Surprisingly strong iteration of the grape from Australia. Heaps of sour cherries, but it's definitely on the jammier end of the spectrum. Still, quite nice.

Adequate but not much depth. A hint of jam and slightly flat finish.

Acquired this several years ago and it was worth cellaring. As soon as my nose hit the glass I knew it was going to be great. Fruity bouquet, crisp and dry on the pallet and a good strong lingering finish.
