2019 vintage. Very pretty and perfumed representation of the variety. Red fruit flavors of lingonberry, raspberry, wild strawberry with rose petals, stemmy herbal thing, incense, and sandalwood. Pinot Noir drinker's Grenache. Officially the coolest wine label I've seen in a while! — 4 years ago
Top quality drop — 7 years ago
Great solid Tempranillo. Heavy. Delicious. — 9 years ago
Oily/Lanolin, Green Melon, Citrus, White Stone-fruit, Green Papaya and Green Grass. Fresh cleansing acidity and primary fruit drive the palate complete with bottle age. A solid wine to enjoy with White Meats, non-cream pasta dishes or seafood/triple cream cheese. — 10 years ago
I agree with Vinous (despite this app saying there is no rating). It s rich and layered. — 9 months ago
See previous Delectable notes in 2017 and 2019. Quite a rich Ruby red. Aromatics of black and blue fruits, a cranberry note with a tarry charcoal note on nose and palate. HH said coal dust and I totally agree. Steve Pannell is recognised as Australia’s premium maker of alternative varieties and this wine proves that. We made his Nebbiolo the champion wine of the Toowoomba Wine Show a couple of years ago. Have the last one in say 2 years time. — 4 years ago
One excellent wine. Perfect on its own. — 8 years ago
Fresh bright nose. Prominent raspberry amongst red fruit sweet palate. Dryish finish with final kick. Amazingly good with chevre. Survived well in bottle overnight. Enjoyed. — 9 years ago
Quite a big, powerful wine, as you'd expect. Dark fruits, plum and spice. Soft tannins and deep long finish. I liked it. Seemed richer than the 13.5 suggests but it's Pannell and very good. — 10 years ago
See previous note from January 2022. Has lost its primary red fruited characters of raspberry and strawberry from its youth. More musky and earthy these days. From 72 year old Grenache vines in the Old McDonald vineyard in McLaren Vale. Steve Pannells winemaking touch still evident with excellent material - a great combination. — 4 years ago
Dark Cherry, super dry and nicely tannic after open for an hour. Love this varietal — 5 years ago
New release. Natural ferment no MLF. Super steely, white nectarine, great acid line. — 8 years ago
Terrific blend great winery having s great run with their range — 9 years ago
Nebbiolo. Flowery and savoury. — 10 years ago

Probably the best example of a new world Nebbiolo from the Australian master of alternative varieties as in Steve Pannell. See previous more detailed notes on Delectable - 182 weeks ago. — 8 months ago
