Wine Review - McIvor Estate Reserve Sangiovese 2004

Campbell Mattinson, WineFront - 90pts
"I always find traces of eucalypt in Italian varietals particularly disturbing, and while there's not a lot of it here, there's enough to put me off. Otherwise it's quite a lovely wine: full of savoury tannin, rich with dark cherry/blueberry fruit flavour, pretty on the nose and serious in the mouth. It finishes rich and mouthfilling, and should age well. A sangiovese to watch - this is very concentrated for the breed. Drink: 2009-2015."
