2008 Boireann La Cima Nebbiolo (Granite Belt, Qld)
Light in colour. Rose petals, violets, toasted hazelnuts & tangy blueberries dance in the glass. Dry, taught, chalky tannins. Fennel seeds & five spice. Lingering crunch & funky marshmallow (turkish delight) that I love searching for & embracing about the variety.
Not a provocative Baroloesque nebbiolo, but thoughtful nonetheless. Ticks all the pedigree boxes plus a couple of smiley faces to boot.
