Introduction
Long time (thanks Corona virus) since I've done one of these. Unfortunately they were decorating downstairs which rather ruined the tasting. Persevered though.
Flight 1 (22 Notes)
Closing
and the perseverance pays off. good tasting. interesting to see the italian nebs being cheaper and generally better than the australian ones...also lovely to catch up with Peter and a few of the other reprobates...
2018 Traviarti Nebbiolo
Australia, Victoria, North East, Beechworth
Aromas of cherry, sweet spice, alcohol lends pepper, a little butter and cream as well. Polish oak, semi carbonic maceration prettiness to the fruit, gritty grainy tannins, alcohol warmth. it's a bit out of whack for me.

2016 Sub Rosa Nebbiolo
Australia, Victoria, Western Victoria, Grampians
Slightly oxidised, funky, savoury, meaty, leather, a little wet plum. Soft mouthfeel but juicy acidity and talc textured but persistent tannins that travel long but this is a bit meh for me.

2016 S.C. Pannell Nebbiolo
Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills
Medium minus intensity aromas show a little wood glue, floral with a rose petal top note, slight savoury spice and plums. Initially soft and fleshy mouthfeel then chalky tannins that dries out the palate with the fruit very much playing second fiddle. hmm.

2016 Denton Nebbiolo DM View Hill
Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Yarra Valley
ripe and plummy, spiced and slightly meaty. With this a touch of black tea. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity married to ripe plummy fruit and chunky, chalky, chewy drying tannins that close down the palate. Time for me.

2015 Bird on a Wire Nebbiolo
Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Yarra Valley
Dusty, a little volatile acidity, and a touch of white and black pepper spice, slightly meaty notes. High intensity acidity, pronounced tannins are exceedingly drying and that's pretty much all there is. Young but nothing to warrant cellaring promise based on this tasting.

2016 Soumah Nebbiolo
Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Yarra Valley
Slightly toasted/burnt notes, a little rose petal, plummy fruit. In the mouth it feels a touch soft initially but the acidity is present and a little sour. Hugely drying tannins are grippy. Hmm.

Pretty peach and apricot, more soft than juicy with similar flavours carrying to the palate and a slight tannic burr with some little herbaceous notes encroaching on the finish. Nice.

2017 Prunotto Langhe Nebbiolo Occhetti

Pretty fruit tends to slightly candied notes. Slightly mineral underpin. Softly juicy married to chalky tannins and the fruit is rather muted. Perhaps time?
