Cuvée Hugo Fleurie Gamay 2021

Medium ruby in color; black cherries, hibiscus, and violets on the nose; high acidity; fine grained, medium plus tannins; tastes like cherries, pomegranates, blackberries, and crushed gravel with a long finish. I love it, and Nellie says it's ok. Do not decant this wine. It lost some of its aromas after an hour. — a year ago

Vetus Purum Barossa Shiraz 2020

Delicious Shiraz from Barossa. Smooth with a long finish. Powerful fruit and elegant structure. Love the notes of cassis. So far this is the best of my AUS 23 in-country tasting tour. — 2 years ago

South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2019

Very good. But I prefer the single variety Shiraz over the blend. I don’t think cab adds to AUS Shiraz, quite honestly. 😎🇦🇺 Note that I am rating the Vetus Purum reserve wine. Delectable just cannot classify it right. — 2 years ago

Pirrera Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese 2020

Delectable Wine
9.4

The 2020 Nerello Mascalese Pirrera is delicate and coy in the glass, showing just nuances of rose and black cherry contrasted by dusty earth. Silky and refined, it washes across the palate with a pure blend of red and wild blueberry fruit. A mineral staining adds tension toward the close. It finishes structured and long with a citrus concentration to balance as tart raspberry and sage slowly taper off. Patience will be required to tame this structured Etna Rosso.
