di Lusso 2004 Nebbiolo

Variety: Nebbiolo
Region/G.I.: Central Ranges, Mudgee
Vintage: 2004
Colour: Deeper copper red
Alcohol: 13.6%
Bouquet: Smell toward funky, wet cow. Very even in the nose
Flavour: Nice savoury flavours of drying herbs and some sour cherry. Nice remnants of tannin and nice acidity. Weakness is its shortness.
Points: 83 (3+7+11+5+7+50)
Notes:  This wine perplexed me as I really liked its acidity but marked it down heavily due to its shortness. The rest of the group rated it second best but not me. It retails for about $28 (2011 vintage) ~ 540 Kc. I have tasted some of their other wines and enjoyed them, particularly Barbera and we will head to Mudgee for a wine weekend later in the year.
