De Bortoli. Windy Peak, 2006 Sangiovese


General: A big learning from this tasting => this one needs time to breathe. I initially tasted immediately after opening the bottle and felt all the excitement one gets from a Frankovka. An hour later, I persisted and was rewarded.

Alcohol: 13.5%

Region: King Valley (Victoria)

Bouquet: Jammy, sultanas

Flavour: Medium bodied with good, gentle tannins giving complexity to the initial mouthful of spice

Points: 81

Notes: Purchased from BWS with a regular price of $15.55 (233 Kc) and with a 10% discount due to a six bottle purchase. I actually prefer the De Bortoli Sero Merlot-Sangiovese to this wine.
