Coriole Barbera 2011

Coriole Barbera 2011 (McLaren Vale, SA)
13.5%, Screwcap, $25
Source: Sample

Tasted: April 2013

I tasted 9 months ago, but the sentiment still stands. Not a bad result given the vintage.

This shows a cranberry and fern leaf brackishness suggesting a little underripeness. Curranty, high acid palate is riper than the nose suggests making for a pure, if slightly spiky, Barbera.

Drink: 2013-2018
Score: 16.5/20, 88/100
Would I buy it? Not quite.

About me – Andrew Graham

At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
