Soul Of A Lion Adelaida District Red Blend 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2015 “Soul of a Lion” pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of cassis, plum, purple flowers, Fresno chili, tobacco, leather, vanilla and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and silky. A fairly massive wine but there’s plenty of character to keep it unique and interesting. Drink now through 2035+ — 2 months ago

This is really solid but for 2 euros more the Vigna del Prey is a better QPR wine. — 5 years ago

Wenn es einen nebbiolo wein im burgunder-stil gibt, dann ist es Roberto Voerzio. PS: Sas Assetato in Asti ist eine der besten je erlebten weinbars. Die auswahl, armosphäre im ungeohnten 1.stock und vor allem die komppetenz der inhaberin ist für italien vorbildlich!! — 6 months ago

Better than it was just a few months ago, which was right after bottling. Crushed raspberry and steel. Good acidity, low tannin but still substantial. Perfect burger wine! Chicken cordon bleu too! — 4 years ago
