95 Pts & Exceptional – Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, September 11, 2021
“Alluring aromas of dark cherry and black plum interlaced with grilled savoury herbs billow from the glass after a vigorous swirl. It blankets the palate with balanced and bountiful surge of elegant palate flavours with black bramble berry and juicy black cherry to the fore. This showcases purity of fruit, deft balance, good depth and delightful tang and acidity. It finishes with palate-flavour replays and a notion of black plum compote on the aftertaste. The price-quality balance tips well in your favour.”

Aurelio Settimo Barolo DOCG Rocche dell’Annunziata 2015 (+293761 | $55.95)
This wine is garnet red with ruby highlights; the notes of wood and hint of licorice prevailing on the nose are typical of the wines aged in the traditional local style. On the mouth, it is appealingly dry, with well-balanced tannins. 100% Nebbiolo
94 Pts – Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, September 11, 2021
“This showcases complexity, balance, persistent purity of fruit and more than its share of gorgeous fruit flavours and excellent tang-laden pizzazz. It’s medium weight with good mouthfeel and a lengthy finish and aftertaste. Aromas of dark cherry, dried flowers and earthy bits abound interlaced with tarry notes and piquant spice. It flows over the palate with pleasing flavours of kirsch liqueur and plenty of tang. It finishes with more of the same through the lengthy and luxurious finish and aftertaste. Drink now after a three-hour aeration/decant with cassoulet or roast duck or tuck away for another three or four years of careful cellaring.”

At release, the wine has a deep crimson red colour to the centre with a youthful purple hue to the edges. There are lifted aromas of dark cherry fruit along with subtle choc-mint and a hint of eucalypt. On the palate, this is a rich, full-bodied wine with intense flavours of cassis and blackberry fruit along with attractive oak characters of cigar box and tobacco leaf.
Overall, the wine is well balanced with complex, well-integrated, elegant tannins providing structure and an intense, persistent length to the finish.
