2007 SC Pannell Nebbiolo, Adelaide Hills
Fragrant and pure: loganberry pips, some porcini with air, new leather, fennel - complex. Fabulous texture on the palate, the perfect masochistic mix of tannin and acid: terrific harmonious tension. Will evolve for at least a decade, but with decanting is great drinking now. The Age Melbourne Magazine 26/3/2010, Tim White
