Longview Saturnus Nebbiolo 2022

"This wine pours with an appropriate vibrant-garnet colour. So tense and fine; a medium-weight red of cranberry, rosehip tea and woody spices, with cola, just-ripe raspberry and fennel in tow. So very succulent, great length, amazing fine-grained tannin profile and a general sense of freshness. It feels so legit, so good to drink, serious but with such high drinkability. Awesome."  Rating: 95 Points.  Mike Bennie.  Halliday Wine Companion

"Saturnus, Saturno. The family behind Longview is named Saturno. Their wine journey started out with a chain of hotels in Adelaide. Peter Saturno, the current generation, manages Longview.  Medium-full red with good purple tints, and there are lifted raspberry aromas that entertain, with rosewater and Turkish Delight nuances as well as blackberry pastille notes. There is lovely rich ripeness and real depth of flavour here, backed up by abundant tannins which avoid harshness or greenness. A very smart nebbiolo indeed. I’d love to see it again with some more time under its belt. It looks so promising right now.". Score: 95.  Huon Hooke.  The Real Review.

"Red fruit, almond, quite some perfume, slight aniseed top note, a dusting of spice, and something of a cool alpine character. Medium-bodied, tight and stony, excellent feel to its ferrous tannin, bright acid, strawberry, a subtle peachy thing (don’t mind me), which I like. Dry and long. Pretty but structured. It’s firmly stamped with Nebbiolo character, and gee, it’s really good. It’s over the line for 95 points."  Gary Walsh.  The Wine Front.
