Traviarti Beechworth Nebbiolo 2022

"Deep ruby with a brick red hue and a nose of finely woven complexity that would trick even the most astute blind taster! It smells of floral blood orange, rose, black cherry, walnut and almond, cocoa, Chinotto, a touch of iron and has a ragu-like meatiness that sits gently in the background.
On the palate it’s textural, nervy and complex with intense and pure flavours of red and black berries, sour cherry, blood orange, fennel, savoury herbals, a hint of tomato and a pinch of spice. Bright acidity drives long, while intense tannins grip and hold firm. It’s simultaneously austere and pleasurable, exactly what I love about great Piedmontese expressions. It ends on a very long and elegant tail that has, as Simon would say it, harmony. Wow, this is legit and I reckon it’s the most convincing Nebbiolo yet from Traviarti. Wonderful!"  Marc Malouf - Wine Worth Writing About
