May 1, 2024 - NobleRottersSydney - Sangiovese & Tempranillo (Glass Brasserie, Sydney): {cork, 13.5%} [Andrew] Big, stewy, lifted red fruit nose, edging almost toward volatile. Palate has lots of ripe, even rotting fruit flavours. Very lavish, tending to new world in style. Full-bodied, with medium-high chalky tannins and medium acidity. Not especially oaky. Odd thing is, after all this impressive presence, the finish is barely medium length, with little taste beyond the mid-palate. Nice enough, but not profound.

August 16, 2022 - Nose: Ripe red cherry & strawberry with hint of tomato. After 30 mins. some mushroom appears also.
Palate: Medium-rich, cherry, slight mushroom, medium-high acidity
Finish: Medium length, with very mild tannin drying it out at the end.
Pair with: High acid food, like tomato sauce to help moderate the wine's acidity
Value: Very good value @ $20, not a very complex wine, but very enjoyable with the right food. -
