2013 Wolf Blass Black Label

Big ripe blackberry flavour with chocolate behind it and some eucalyptus. The drawcard here though is the texture as it's super plush in the mouth. I think there would have to be full MLF here as well as a lot of lees work to give the wine this big, velvety mouthfeel but the final product is impressive.
I drank this by itself and I think you need to have it with meat or cheese to provide you with more palate variety as this wine itself doesn't have the complexity to stay interesting for a full bottle.
Interesting to consider that over the years this wine has won four Jimmys...was it a better wine back then? It's definitely a victime of changing fashions but even so this just seems good but not great, a nice wine but it doesn't justifies its RRP pricetag.

Sweet tropical nose of lychee with hints of banana and white flowers. More lychee on the palate along with less distinct other tropical and ripe orchard notes, and a refreshing light sparkling spritz. Not an overly complex wine but nonetheless a pleasure.

2022 Poderi Luigi Einaudi Nebbiolo Langhe

Pinot-like colour and weight. Rose and cherry nose and palate at first, a slight fungal (I suspect bret) note evolving but it was subtle and at a level I consider adds to the complexity rather than detracts.
Freh acid and firm Neb tannins but not aggressive. Lovely drinking and seems like a great value option while waiting for Barolos to mature.
