Coriole Nebbiolo 2009

This wine comes from a single vineyard in the Adelaide Hills which is farmed biodynamically. I get the feeling that the Adelaide Hills will become known for this grape variety.

Coriole Nebbiolo 2009

At the moment this wine is more about length and tannin than it is about outright enjoyment which is a good thing as it moves this wine into the serious end of the spectrum. The savoury drying tannins pull the length of the wine extremely long while the oak is already in the background. The tannins wrestle with the flavours of dried roses, Asian spices and plums and finally they win out. Give this wine a good ten years in the cellar and the result should be the other way round. The wine definitely fits into the more European style of wine which suits Nebbiolo perfectly.
