Coriole Sangiovese 2013
Coriole continues to set the benchmark for affordable Sangiovese in Australia, with no other producer coming close to the consistency.
This is a good, ripe vintage for Coriole Sangio too. Dark ruby red, it immediately smells of Sangiovese and McLaren Vale – sunshine, forest berries, biltong, leather and currants. All the good things. It tastes ripe and there’s a little red fruit glycerol sweetness before bitter, thick cut tannins.
Genuine, real and flavoursome Sangiovese in an open knit and riper styler (for Coriole) but packed with flavour. Really good.
