Torzi Matthews Vigna Cantina Sangiovese 2008 has just arrived in our cellars at The Vine Press and what an impressive drop!
Here’s a great review for Gary Walsh at Winefront: “Interesting wine this one: it says more about the Barossa and Domenic Torzi than it does of Sangiovese, but that’s no bad thing. And it’s priced to get the turnstiles spinning. I asked Mattinson to open this earlier today, so will be interested to hear a second opinion.
Opens with a good sniff of sexy-time vanilla custard oak and rich cherry fruit but left for a day to air out it reveals further nuance – dried cherry, pot pourri, mint and some leather. It’s medium bodied, sweetly and deliciously red fruited with a dollop of vanilla custard – the tannins smooth and pliant initially, but grippy nontheless and there’s acidity that’s not unlike biting into a fresh strawberry which I often describe as being “pippy”. A difficult wine to rate in many respects – some will love it, others will not – but either way there’s no questioning that it’s a quality wine.” Rated : 90 Points Gary Walsh from Winefront.
