Coriole Sangiovese 1997
Already showing typical signs of browning, this lightly oaked young red flaunts its reductive character with leathery and slightly sweaty development, helping to accentuate the sweet-sourness of its ripe red and black berry fruit and savoury, nutty complexity. Varietally correct, laced with licorice and bitumen, it’s simply chock full of character.

Coriole
Coriole is a long-established small wine business in McLaren Vale that applies art and finesse to its long-living expressions of the region's popular specialities of shiraz, sangiovese and semillon. Typically, the current releases are spotlessly made, over-deliver for their price points and offer an alluring combination of flavour, poise and elegance, all the way from the astonishing Redstone Shiraz to the flagship Lloyd Reserve. Coriole's whites are typically fine and seamless, gentle and savoury. It's so easy to see why I look forward to tasting its wines every year.
