Still the one: Coriole Sangiovese 2013

April 20, 2015

Coriole Sangiovese 2013

Coriole continues to set the benchmark for affordable Sangiovese in Australia, with no other producer coming close to the consistency.

This is a good, ripe vintage for Coriole Sangio too. Dark ruby red, it immediately smells of Sangiovese and McLaren Vale – sunshine, forest berries, biltong, leather and currants. All the good things. It tastes ripe and there’s a little red fruit glycerol sweetness before bitter, thick cut tannins.

Genuine, real and flavoursome Sangiovese in an open knit and riper styler (for Coriole) but packed with flavour. Really good.

Details: 14%, Screwcap, $25
Tasted: April 2015 (sample)
Best drinking: 2015-2025
Score: 17.7/20, 92/100
Would I buy it: 2-3 glasses would be about right
Buy online: Different Drop (AUS), Coriole website

    Andrew Graham
    At 18, I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, slogging through physics and chemistry, so a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say, I discovered wine, and my life evolved with a unique dual focus - wine and the environment.

    Twenty one years later and I spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer. and judge at wine shows around the world...Read more
