Longview Saturnus Nebbiolo 2012
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaSo nebbiolo, and so Adelaide Hills. Sweet plum blossoms, perfumed roses, dried blueberry, dried herbs on the aromatic nose. This medium bodied wine shows ripe, savoury cassis, thorny black fruit, tobacco notes across big, structured and sticky tannins. Bright, elegant acidity lifts the whole to the lingering finish. Use of large format oak allows keeps wood at bay. Decanting necessary, and then pour alongside roasted beef tenderloin or lamb.Tasted: 22 January 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $50.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - The Wine Syndicate |
