The Cloak, Sangiovese, North East Victoria, 2016
Chocolate nibs, fresh leather gloves, blackberry juice, cherry skin. Juicy and bright. Bounces nicely between deep cherry and brighter raspberry. A little polished and satiny before toothsome, almost chewy tannins (but no overwork of jaw required). Finishing with bitter cola essence. A sensuous and supple, easy drinking wine to wrap yourself up in.
