Tasting Notes

Description

Tasting Notes:
A precise, mid‑weight Nebbiolo built around vibrant kirsch and red cherry. Underneath are dusty mineral tones, chalky texture, fine tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish engraved with salinity and poised acidity.

Aroma:
The nose reveals dried flowers and potpourri perfume, along with chalk, mint‑tinged tobacco, eucalyptus and white pepper. Elegant, refined, and slightly reticent on release.

Awards/Score:
Critics awarded 2020 around 93 points from Vinous (Antonio Galloni) and 94 from Gary Walsh at The Wine Front; James Suckling scored it 95/100.

Pairing:
A classic match with lamb (especially herb‑roasted or grilled), game meats, mushroom risotto or mature cheeses. Also excellent alongside rich pork or arterial ragù.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
